Mika

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Adult · 5 years

13-08-26 Mika has come to us from a breeder and is now searching for a loving forever home. She is a very shy little lady who prefers to hide away and looks to her canine friends for comfort and reassurance. When left alone, Mika shakes like a leaf, and it is heart-breaking to see just how overwhelmed she can become. Mika will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in the home that she can lean on as she learns about trust, companionship, and life in a family environment. She has never lived in a home before, so her adopters will need to have ex-breeder experience and be patient and understanding as she learns all about house training and settles into a new routine. Mika does not walk on a lead yet, and venturing out may be too frightening for her initially, so spending time exploring a secure garden and enjoying plenty of sniffing opportunities may be a much better place for her to start. She will need a calm, adult-only home where she can settle at her own pace and slowly begin to build her confidence. Mika has so much potential and so much love to give. She simply needs someone who can see beyond her fears, give her the time she deserves, and help her find her paws in the world. Mika has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Mika

What life with Mika looks like

Mika is a adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mika?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Many Tears Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mika if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Many Tears Animal Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mika already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mika isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Many Tears Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mika and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
