How do I contact the shelter about Ben?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Woodgreen Pets Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ben on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ben if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 Ben 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 Ben 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 Woodgreen Pets Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ben 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 (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.

Adopt Ben

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 5 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs some support Can I be left alone? Potentially, once settled We have no history on how Ben copes when on his own and so his home alone time should therefore be built up very gradually in a new home. He is also currently not housetrained so will need someone around to help with this training. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Ben has a Gait abnormality, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information We feel as he can be a bit unsure and is not very well socialised, that he would be best as the only dog in the home. He would benefit from gradual and appropriate socialisation around other dogs as he can be vocal and worried around them. He is having training to help with this reaction, which will need to be continued in a new home. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Ben will need to live in a home with children over the age of 8 years. He can be a bit nervous around new people and will need children who can respect when he’s asking for space. In his previous home, Ben was very cuddly with his people and would like to curl up on laps. If his owners stopped petting him he would nudge them asking for more. What type of environment would suit me? Ben will need a private and secure garden in his new home. He is used to having free access to one and this would allow him space to explore and play outside off-lead. It would also help with his toilet training. About Ben Meet Ben, an adorable Terrier cross with a playful spirit and a gentle heart. Ben can be a little shy when meeting new people, but soon warms up and you’ll discover a sweet, affectionate boy who loves being part of the fun. Once he feels comfortable, Ben’s playful side really shines! He enjoys squeaky toys, fusses, and zooming around with his favourite people. He’s looking for a calm and loving home where he can build his confidence at his own pace and enjoy plenty of playtime along the way. Ben would make a wonderful companion for someone who understands that the best friendships take a little time to grow. In return, you’ll gain a loyal best friend with lots of love to give.

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a small adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

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.
