Twig

Poodle · Female · Adult · 5 years

Twig has come to us from a breeder and is now searching for a loving forever home. When she first arrived, Twig was a very worried and flighty girl who found new people quite overwhelming and would often bark and keep her distance. However, after spending some time getting to know her, we have seen a lovely side to Twig that we knew was hiding underneath all those nerves. Twig has now moved into a wonderful foster home where she is getting to experience home life for the very first time. She was very overwhelmed when she first moved into foster and would initially hide in the garden, but since then she has started to come out of her shell and is settling into home life and has started to unwind. She has started to bond with her fosterer and will now sit next to her on the sofa for snuggles but is still quite wary of her fosterers husband. Twig relies heavily on the other dogs in her foster home for comfort and support and will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult only home where there was another kind and confident resident dog to be her friend. She will need adopters who have experience with ex-breeding dogs and will help her settle in at her own pace. Twig has recently started her harness training, although she is still very much at the beginning of this journey. She will need her adopters to take things slowly and give her plenty of time to build her confidence before expecting her to venture out into the big wide world. Lots of gentle practice in the garden will be a good place to start, and her adopters should be prepared to take things at her pace rather than rushing her. She is starting to learn all about toilet training and is doing well. Twig is a sensitive girl who may take some time to fully trust her new family, but the progress she has already made shows us just how much potential she has. Once she knows you, she is such a sweet, gentle little lady who simply wants to be close to her person. She just needs someone willing to give her the time, patience and chance she deserves. Twig has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Twig

What life with Twig looks like

Twig is a large adult poodle 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Twig, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Twig?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Twig on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Twig if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Many Tears Animal Rescue whether they will for Twig, what they require (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 Twig already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Many Tears Animal Rescue lists Twig as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Many Tears Animal Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Twig isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Many Tears Animal Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Twig 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.
