Sunny

Shih Tzu · Female · Adult · 4 years

27-08-26 Sunny is a sweet girl who has come to us from a breeder and is trying her hardest to be brave. She was very briefly adopted, but after a few days in her new home it was clear that her and the resident dog weren't a good match and so she has returned to our care. Sunny loves other dogs and still looks to her kennel friends for comfort and reassurance, so she will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home who she can look to and lean on as she continues to grow in confidence. She will be best suited to a home where any resident dogs were her size or larger and were fairly confident and well socialised. We think she will settle quickly in the right home, and with patience and encouragement, we’re sure her lovely personality will really begin to shine. She will be looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with ex-breeding dogs and who will allow her to settle in at her own pace. She can live with older, dog-savvy teens aged 16+ who are kind and sensible and will give her the time she needs to settle in. She will now happily approach you for a fuss and is easy to handle, which is lovely to see as she begins to settle in and discover the world around her. Sunny arrived with us very matted, but she was such a good girl during her grooming session and took everything in her stride. Sunny has never lived in a home before, so her adopters will need to be kind and patient as she learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She has started to learn all about walking on a lead and harness and though this is still new to her, she is doing well. Sunny is an amazing lady who has so much to look forward to and will make a wonderful addition to a loving and accepting home. Sunny has arrived with an undershot jaw that does not seem to bother her, but will need to be monitored in her new home. She has had 4 teeth removed at the time of her spay. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Sunny

What life with Sunny looks like

Sunny is an adult shih tzu 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 Sunny, answered.

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