Adopt Olive

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Olive originally came to us from Romania as a puppy with her siblings and was quickly adopted. Sadly, she has recently been returned as she was finding life in a busy city and busy household too overwhelming. She will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult only home where she can settle at her own pace. We feel she would really benefit from adopters with experience of Romanian dogs. Olive would prefer to be the only dog in her new home. Although she can socialise well with other dogs, she can guard her food from other dogs and prefers not to share her space long-term. She cannot share her home with cats or small furries. Olive can struggle with busy environments and traffic and so we feel she would be much happier in a quieter area, where she can go on more rural walks. She can also bark at loud noises and strangers visiting the home, so this is something her adopters will need to be willing to work on with her. Her adopters will need to be patient, calm, and consistent, helping her gradually build confidence and feel secure in her new environment. Olive is house trained but she may need gentle reminders as she adjusts to a new routine. She walks nicely on the lead and would love an active home where she can enjoy plenty of walks and adventures. Olive is a clever girl who already knows basic commands such as “sit” and “paw”. She is a very sweet girl who enjoys being close to her people, happily sitting beside you, though she isn’t overly fond of cuddles. When Olive first arrived back with us she was quite nervous and wouldn't approach us, but she has now grown so much in confidence and eagerly greets her kennel mummy every morning. She has also started going for walks with volunteers, which is helping her confidence blossom and is something that she really loves! She also loves chasing balls in our big play yard. With time, love and TLC, we think she will blossom into a wonderful companion, so please don't leave her waiting too long. Olive has tested negative for Brucella Canis.

About Olive

What life with Olive looks like

Olive is a large adult mixed breed 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Olive, answered.

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