Ollie

Male · Adult · 7 years

17-09-26 Ollie is a very nervous boy who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a new start. Despite retreating to the corner of his kennel and showing us just how scared he is, Ollie is okay being handled and will accept a gentle fuss, although he shakes like a leaf. He very much wants to be brave and has allowed us to clean around his eyes and give him some gentle fuss, but we can see just how hard he is trying to cope with these new experiences. Ollie will need another kind and confident dog in his new home, and this dog will be a much-needed support system for him as he settles in and begins to understand that he is safe. As Ollie has never lived in a home before, he will need to learn all about house training, lead training and the other basics of home life. His adopters will need to be patient and give him plenty of time to adjust at his own pace. Ollie could share his home with dog-savvy teenagers aged 16+ who can appreciate and understand that he will need a gentle, quiet introduction to the home, as well as his own space where he can retreat and settle in. His adopters will need to have experience with ex-breeders to better understand his needs. Ollie is a sweet boy who is trying so hard despite how frightened he feels. We hope that with the support of a confident canine companion, patient adopters and plenty of kindness, he will slowly begin to find his confidence and realise that the world is a much kinder place than he has known. Ollie has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Ollie

What life with Ollie looks like

Ollie is a adult 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 Ollie, answered.

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