Ursula

Poodle · Female · Young · 3 years

Ursula is a sweet little lady who has come into our care from a breeder and is now enjoying life in a foster home, where she has been for just over a fortnight and is starting to learn about home life. She is still slowly coming out of her shell and can easily become overwhelmed by new situations, but she is a very gentle girl who is making steady progress. When she does become worried, she has the potential to make the wrong decisions, and her adopters will need to be aware of this to ensure her comfortability. Ursula takes comfort from having a kind and confident dog around her and will need a resident dog in her new home who can help her understand that new things are not always scary. She would benefit greatly from having a canine companion to look to for reassurance as she continues to settle and build her confidence. With the right support, we are sure Ursula will continue to become more comfortable and show her lovely personality. Ursula has never lived in a home before, but she is already doing wonderfully with her house training in her foster home. She happily sleeps through the night without any accidents and is essentially house trained, which is fantastic progress. Her adopters will still need to be patient and understanding as she continues to learn about home life, lead walking and all the new experiences that come with being part of a family. She will need an adult-only calm and quiet home that can allow her to settle in at her own pace. Ursula was underweight when she arrived but is gradually gaining weight and becoming healthier and stronger. She is a gentle little girl who needs a calm and understanding home where she can continue to build her confidence at her own pace. She may still become overwhelmed from time to time, but she is learning that she is safe and that her people will be there to reassure her. Ursula has bilateral Grade 2 luxating patellas, but with gentle exercise this is currently not causing her any problems. Her adopters will need to be aware that this is a pre-existing condition and a disclaimer will apply, meaning it may not be covered by insurance. She also arrived with an umbilical hernia, which has since been repaired during her spay. Ursula is a sweet and gentle little girl who has already made some lovely progress during her time in foster. She will need a family who can offer her patience, kindness and plenty of reassurance as she continues to find her confidence. With a kind resident dog by her side and a calm, loving home, we are sure Ursula will blossom into a wonderful companion. Ursula has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Ursula

What life with Ursula looks like

Ursula is a young adult poodle 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 Ursula, answered.

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