How do I contact the shelter about Venus?

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 Venus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Venus 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 Venus 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 Venus 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 Venus 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.

Venus

Bichon Frisé · Female · Adult · 4 years

Venus is a very scared girl who has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. When she first arrived, she was so worried that she would run away and hide when she saw us, but she has started to make slow but steady progress. She has spent the last several months in kennels, slowly settling in and starting to learn all about her new life, but she has recently made a big step and moved to a wonderful foster home where she can get to experience life in a home for the very first time. This will help her progress and get her ready to find her forever home. She is still very worried about humans and isn't brave enough to approach us just yet, but if you sit quietly and drop a treat in front of you, she will now come and gently take the treat from nearby. She clearly isn't used to being handled and finds this quite stressful at the moment, but this is something her fosterer will work on getting her used to. Venus will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult only home and would need adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will allow her to settle in at her own pace without any pressure or expectations. She relies heavily on other dogs for comfort and reassurance and will be looking for a multi dog home with confident resident dogs to be her friend and companion and take her under their wing. She cannot cope without the company of another dog and as she isn't walking on a lead yet, she will need to always have a dog home with her, while the other dog/s are out on walks. Venus had never lived in a home before moving to foster, but she is settling in well and is already doing very well with her house training and has been clean so far. She doesn't walk on a lead or harness just yet and it will likely be quite a while before this is something she will be comfortable with starting to learn about. When she's ready, she will need to start by wearing a harness around the home and garden, before progressing to walking on a lead around the garden. Venus' journey may not be a quick one, but it will be so rewarding when you see her reach new milestones like wagging her tail for the first time and in the right home, she will truly blossom. Venus has been treated for sore ears and she has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.

About Venus

What life with Venus looks like

Venus is a large adult bichon frisé 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.
