Belle

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

I’m a very sweet 5 year old girl, and I like to think I’m a bit of a princess! I’ve been very well cared for by my previous family, but sadly they could no longer keep me, so I’m now looking for a new home where I can be thoroughly spoilt, just as I believe I deserve to be! I’m a really lovely girl who absolutely LOVES my cuddles. I’m also rather partial to a good snooze, so if you’re looking for a dog who is going to keep you busy from morning until night, I’m probably not your girl! I much prefer a comfy bed, plenty of fuss and generally being treated like the princess I am. I can be a little demanding when I know what I want, but I’m also a very sweet girl and I’ve been settling really well in foster. I do have a history of being a little sensitive when it comes to my tummy, but thankfully things are going really well at the moment. I’m currently doing brilliantly on a special diet, so my new family will need to be happy to continue this for me. I’m not allowed any treats at the moment, but don’t worry, I have my very own special biscuits and I think they’re absolutely delicious! I’m also currently on medication for itchy skin. The girls here are more than happy to chat through this with any potential family over the phone, so they can explain everything and answer any questions you might have. 🥰 Another thing I’m working hard on is my housetraining. I’m doing really well with this in my foster home, so I’m hoping my new family will be patient and consistent with me while I continue learning. I’m definitely showing them that I can be a very good girl! I’m looking for a home with a garden and would be happiest somewhere fairly quiet. I’ve grown up in a rural area, so busy or built-up surroundings can be a little overwhelming for me. I can also find lots of visitors quite worrying, so I’d like a calm home where people coming to visit can be introduced to me slowly and sensibly. I can live with children aged 11 and over, but I’m looking for a family who have had dogs before and understand that I like things to be on my terms sometimes! I would prefer to be the only pet in the home, although I could potentially live with small animals provided they are safely kept in their own secure enclosure. So, if you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly, slightly demanding little princess who loves nothing more than being cosy, having a fuss and getting plenty of beauty sleep, I might just be the girl for you! 👑💕

About Belle

What life with Belle looks like

Belle is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Lincoln.

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 Belle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Belle?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Jerry Green Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Belle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Belle if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Jerry Green Dog 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 Belle 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 Belle 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 Jerry Green Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Belle 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.
