October

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Adult · 5 years

21-09-26 October is a sweet but nervous lady who has come to us from a breeder. She is okay to handle and is slowly getting used to us, but she isn't quite sure about people just yet and will need some time to learn that she is safe and loved. She is a gentle girl who will need her adopters to be patient and understanding while she takes those first steps towards gaining her confidence. October relies heavily on her kennel friends for comfort and reassurance, so she will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in her new home. Having a friendly dog by her side will help her to feel more secure and give her someone to look to as she learns all about home life. We think having a confident canine companion will really help October to come out of her shell and show her adopters the lovely girl underneath her initial nerves. October has never lived in a home before, so there will be lots of new things for her to experience. She will need kind and patient adopters who understand that everything from the sights and sounds of a home to new routines and experiences may take some getting used to. She will need time to settle in and should be allowed to progress at her own pace without being rushed. October can live with sensible, dog-savvy older teenagers aged 16+ who understand that she is a nervous girl and will give her the space and time she needs to settle. She would really like a quiet, calm home where she can take things slowly and have the support of her family and resident dog while she continues to gain confidence. October is a sweet girl who just needs someone willing to give her the time she deserves. With patience, kindness and a confident dog by her side, we hope she will gradually learn that home is a safe and happy place and begin to blossom into the lovely companion we know she can be. October has an ectropion of the right that will be assessed during her spay. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About October

What life with October looks like

October 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 October, answered.

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