Blue

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

I’m a happy, affectionate and energetic Border Collie boy looking for my forever home! I can be a little bit appeasing when we first meet, so I’d appreciate a little space to get to know you at my own pace. But once I feel comfortable, you’ll soon discover that I’m a big softie who loves fuss, attention and spending time with my favourite people! 🥰 🎾 Let’s play! I absolutely LOVE a tennis ball! I could play fetch all day long if you let me, so I’ll need someone who can help me learn when it’s time to play and when it’s time to relax. I’m a clever, agile lad who would love to put my brain and athleticism to good use. Fancy trying agility or canicross with me? I could be your perfect partner! 🐶 What about other pets? I’d prefer to be the only dog in my home, as I much prefer human company. I can tolerate other dogs when we’re out and about, though! I could potentially live with dog-savvy cats who live outdoors. 👧 Little humans? I could live with sensible children aged 8 and over who understand that I may need a little space while we get to know each other. 🏡 My dream home: I’m looking for a home where I won’t be left on my own for more than a couple of hours to begin with. Once I’ve settled in and we’ve built things up gradually, I could potentially manage up to four hours on occasion. More than anything, I’m looking for someone who will understand my Border Collie brain, keep me active, help me learn, and give me all the love and guidance I need to be the best boy I can be. 💙 Could you be the person I’ve been waiting for? If you think I could be your playful, clever and affectionate new best friend, please click the link below to find out more about me! Lots of love and hopefully a game of fetch soon,

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a medium-sized 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 Blue, answered.

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