Bodger

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Young Β· 2 years

Hello, my name is Bodger, and I am a lovely, friendly boy looking for my very own loving family! πŸΎπŸ’™ I’m a big, happy boy with a lovely personality and a whole lot of love to give. One of my favourite things in the whole world is playing with my ball. If you throw it for me, I’ll happily bring it straight back so we can do it all over again! I could spend plenty of time playing fetch, so a family who enjoys getting out and about and having fun with me would be perfect. I’m also a very affectionate boy and I love having a fuss from my people. Once I know you, I’ll happily lean in for some cuddles and let you know when I’d like some more fuss! I’m a lovely, relaxed boy in the home and I enjoy spending time with my family. I already live with a cat, and we get along really well. She’s definitely the boss and isn’t afraid to tell me when she’s had enough of playing! I’m looking for a family who will continue to help me learn, give me plenty of fun and enrichment, and most importantly, show me just how wonderful life can be. In return, I promise to be a loving and loyal companion who will always be happy to see you!

About Bodger

What life with Bodger looks like

Bodger 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 β€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Bodger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bodger?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Jerry Green Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bodger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bodger if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Bodger 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bodger isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Jerry Green Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bodger 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 β€” 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.
