Bitzy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Meet Bitzy, the ultimate cuddle bug and companion! There is nothing I love more than being with my favourite people. Whether I’m having a lovely belly rub on the sofa, playing with my toys or simply following you around the house, I’m happiest when I’m by your side. In fact, personal space is something I’ve never really understood! If you’re looking for a little shadow who wants to be involved in everything you do, then I’m definitely your girl. OH…and toys…. they’re my all time favourite!! I love a zoomies with my toys!! I absolutely adore people. I love everyone and anyone and genuinely think that everybody I meet is my new best friend! How could anyone say no to giving this face a little smush? Everyone who meets me falls in love with my sweet nature. I’m such a big softie with a kind and gentle heart, and I simply want to love and be loved. I promise I’ll repay you with endless cuddles, waggy tails and plenty of Bitzy devotion. I’m not just a cuddly girl though… I’m also a BIGGG snorer! There is absolutely no such thing as sleeping quietly in Bitzy’s world. So if you’re looking for a peaceful night’s sleep, I might not be the girl for you, but if you don’t mind a little snuffling coming from the end of your bed, we’ll get along just fine! I’m a sensitive soul when it comes to living in a home, and because of my previous lifestyle, I’m looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful. I previously lived very rurally, so a quiet village location would suit me perfectly. If there are neighbouring dogs, they will need to be quiet too, as lots of noise and activity around my home can make me feel uncomfortable. Once we’re out and about, I’d love some lovely rural walks where I can take my time sniffing and exploring with my favourite people. I can become frustrated when I see other dogs from a distance, and bigger dogs can make me feel uncomfortable, however there is potential for me to socialise outside of the home with well suited smaller breeds, I’m still learning, but with the right support and quieter surroundings, I’m sure I can keep making progress. Life hasn’t always been straightforward for me, and because of that I’m hoping to find a family who can give me what I’ve always deserved: stability, routine and lots of love. Once I know I’m safe and settled, my beautiful personality really shines. I’m happiest when life is predictable and I know my people are there for me. Because I thrive when I’m with my people, I’ll need my leaving hours built up very slowly. Initially, I’d like a home where I won’t be left on my own, giving me plenty of time to settle in and feel comfortable before we start gradually teaching me that it’s okay to be apart and that my people will always come back. I’m also housetrained. I may have the odd accident when I first arrive while I’m figuring out where the back door is, but once I’ve got it sussed, I’ll make sure you know when I need to go outside! I’m looking for a home with children aged 14 years and over who can understand when I just want to relax and enjoy some fuss. I’d also like to be the only dog in the home, and I don’t want to live with cats or other pets. I could potentially live with caged chickens, as I’ve lived with them previously, but this would be subject to a successful introduction and assessment. More than anything, I’m searching for someone who wants a best friend. Someone who doesn’t mind having a big cuddle monster following them from room to room, climbing onto the sofa beside them… or quite possibly on top of them! I want to be your shadow, your snuggle buddy, your walking companion and your biggest fan. I promise to fill your home with love, your heart with happiness and your sofa with plenty of Bitzy. If you’ve got a cosy sofa, a warm lap, a quiet home and lots of love to give, I’ll bring the cuddles.

About Bitzy

What life with Bitzy looks like

Bitzy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Lincoln.

An young 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 Bitzy, answered.

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