Bobbie

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 11 years

Bobbie loves a snuggle on the sofa, a potter in the garden and getting out on walks. He loves high value treats and cheese appears to be a firm favourite! He is a confident little guy, with loads of personality and love to give, we're sure he'll make a wonderful companion for the right home! To find out more about Bobbie and his needs add him to your favourites! 11 year old Bobbie is a lovely little Jack Russell who adores being around people, because of this he would like you to be around most of the day while he settles into his new life. He likes having access to a garden, his favourite game is fetch and he walks really well on a lead! He would suit a calm home, with adults only and the opportunity for quiet walks (not in busy areas with lots of other dogs).

About Bobbie

What life with Bobbie looks like

Bobbie is a senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Bobbie, answered.

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