Rhiannon

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Young · 2 years

I need a calm and quiet home where I can settle in at my own pace. I need a resident dog to help me settle in and I have never met cats. I would like a secure garden to spend time in. I’ve never been on walks before and will need a gentle introduction. I have never lived in a home so I will need help to learn house training. I will be spayed before finding my forever home. 08-11-26 Rhiannon has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is a timid girl who is quite overwhelmed to find herself here at the moment. She is much more confident when she has other dogs around her and takes comfort from their company. Rhiannon will allow you to handle her, but she clearly isn't used to handling or socialisation and finds this very worrying. Rhiannon will be looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience of ex-breeding dogs and understand that she will need patience, kindness and plenty of reassurance as she settles in. She will need another kind and confident resident dog in her new home to take her under their wing and help her feel safe and build her confidence. In the right circumstances, we would consider homing her with dog savvy teenagers. She has never lived in a home before so her adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in and learns all about home life and new skills like house training and how to walk on a lead. With understanding, patience and the friendship of another dog, we hope Rhiannon will gradually find her confidence and learn to enjoy all the happiness a forever home can bring. Rhiannon has a travel document. Rhiannon has been given the Gift of Life by Anna Thorpe Through the generosity of a Gift of Life sponsor, this dog was able to leave behind an uncertain future in Ireland and find safety and care at Many Tears. Every sponsorship helps us rescue and save more dogs in desperate need. If you would like to become part of a rescue story, please consider donating to our Gift of Life fund. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Rhiannon

What life with Rhiannon looks like

Rhiannon is a young adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

A young 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 Rhiannon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rhiannon?: 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 Rhiannon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rhiannon 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rhiannon 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 Rhiannon 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 Rhiannon 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.
