Adopt Nana

Poodle · Female · Adult · 7 years

10-05-26 Nana has come to us from a breeder and is now searching for her forever home. She is a sweet girl who is understandably feeling very scared and overwhelmed to find herself here. It’s clear she hasn’t had much handling or socialisation before, so human hands are quite worrying for her at the moment and she is very nervous of being handled. We will continue gently helping her learn that human hands can be kind. Nana will be looking for a calm and quiet adult only home where she can settle in at her own pace. She would really benefit from adopters who have experience with nervous ex-breeding dogs and who understand the patience, time and reassurance she will need as she learns to trust. She absolutely loves other dogs and relies on them for comfort and reassurance, so Nana will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home to take her under their wing and help her feel safe and secure. As Nana has never lived in a home before, she will need patient adopters who will be kind and understanding as she learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She will also need to learn all about walking on a lead and harness, first practicing in the garden as she builds confidence. With time, kindness and plenty of TLC, Nana will begin to leave the past behind her and let her true personality shine through. Nana has some hormonal alopecia, but this should start to grow back once she has been spayed. She has a small inguinal hernia that has been assessed by our vets and it was determined to not repair the hernia, as it is too small. She has had several teeth removed at the time of spay. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Nana

What life with Nana looks like

Nana is a small adult poodle 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 Nana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nana?
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 Nana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nana 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 Nana 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 Nana 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 Nana 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.
