Sixpence

Dachshund · Female · Young · 2 years

26-08-26 Sixpence is a nervous girl who has come to us from a breeder. She isn’t brave enough to approach you just yet, but she is easy to handle once she is in your arms. She will need time, patience and plenty of trust-building before she feels confident enough to come out of her shell. Sixpence relies heavily on other dogs and will follow their lead, so she will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in her new home that she can lean on as she learns about home life and finds her paws. She will need a calm and quiet home, with adopters who have breed experience and can understand her needs. Sixpence has never lived in a home before, so her adopters will need to be kind and patient as she learns about house training. She is working with her kennel mummy on harness training and would like to continue this in her new home. She can live with sensible, dog-savvy teens aged 13+ who will give her the time and space she needs. Sixpence is a very sweet girl who just needs someone willing to give her the chance to blossom. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Sixpence

What life with Sixpence looks like

Sixpence is a young adult dachshund dog waiting at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli.

An 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 Sixpence, answered.

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