Spaghetti

Dachshund · Female · Adult · 4 years

Spaghetti has come to us from a breeder and is a truly sweet little soul with the gentlest nature. When she first arrived, she was very worried but she is trying her hardest to be brave and is making good progress. She can be quite shy at first, but with gentle encouragement she will now come over to say hello and have a little sniff of you. She has even gained enough confidence to happily take treats off you! Spaghetti was very briefly adopted, but sadly she wasn't getting along with the resident dog in the home so she has been returned to us. She does love other dogs and relies on them for comfort and reassurance, so she will be looking for a home where there is a kind and confident resident dog who can be her friend and take her under their wing. She doesn't enjoy sharing her food, so she will need to be fed separately at meal times. Spaghetti would be best suited to a calm and quiet, adult only home, where she can settle in at her own pace. She had never lived in a home environment before her brief adoption, so her adopters will need to support her as she learns all about home life and new skills like house training. Spaghetti can now walk on a lead, so she would enjoy one or two walks around the local area when she is settled in. Despite her worries, Spaghetti’s sweet personality is already starting to shine through. She has the most endearing little quirks, such as gathering all her toys into her bed so she can sleep surrounded by them. With a loving, understanding home and a little patience, Spaghetti will blossom into a wonderful little companion. On arrival, Spaghetti was limping on her left foreleg, which is currently being monitored by our vet, but no action is required and she does not seem to be limping at this time. She has had 2 teeth extracted. She also has a previous C-section scar, and we have been advised that spaying her could be life-threatening due to prior surgical trauma. For this reason, adopters will be required to sign a disclaimer acknowledging that she can not be spayed and must not mix with other unspayed or unneutered dogs of any gender. An additional disclaimer will also be required to confirm that Spaghetti cannot be bred. Spaghetti has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Spaghetti

What life with Spaghetti looks like

Spaghetti is a small adult dachshund 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.

Note from the shelter: Cannot be spayed due to previous C-section complications; requires separate feeding; needs male dog companion; ongoing vet monitoring for leg limp; had 2 teeth extracted

🇬🇧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 Spaghetti, answered.

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