Bitzy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who thinks she’s a lap dog, no matter her size, then I think we might just be the perfect match. My favourite place in the whole world is snuggled up as close to my people as physically possible. I absolutely adore cuddles and will happily squish myself onto your lap, lean all of my weight into you, and soak up every bit of love and affection you have to give. Personal space? I’ve never really understood the concept! If you’re looking for a little shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side, then I’m definitely your girl. Everyone who meets me falls in love with my sweet nature. I absolutely adore people and have the kindest, gentlest heart. I’m a big softie who simply wants to love and be loved, and I promise I’ll repay your kindness with endless cuddles, waggy tails and unconditional devotion. 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, my beautiful personality really shines. I’m happiest when life is predictable and I know my people are there for me. I’m fully house trained and have lovely manners around the home. As much as I love being with my family, I’ll need any time left on my own built up gradually so I can learn that you’ll always come back for me. When it comes to walks, I much prefer peaceful adventures where I can take my time having a good sniff without too many other dogs around. Busy places can make me feel a little uncomfortable, so quieter walks are much more my style. Give me a calm countryside stroll or a peaceful wander with my favourite humans and I’ll be one very happy girl. 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 happily share my home with small furry animals as long as they are safely housed in secure enclosures out of my way. More than anything, I’m searching for someone who wants a best friend. Someone who doesn’t mind a big cuddle monster climbing onto the sofa beside them… or on top of them! I promise to fill your home with love, your heart with happiness and your lap with plenty of Bitzy. If you’ve got a cosy sofa, a warm lap and lots of love to give, I’ll bring the cuddles.

About Bitzy

What life with Bitzy looks like

Bitzy is a small 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. 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 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.
