Adopt Boss

Mixed Breed · Male

Please meet beautiful Boss, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier Boss is a lovely dog, he knows his commands, loves his walks. When he came to us he did not like some people so would need several visits for him to gain trust with someone. An adult only household will be required for Boss so please don't apply if you have young children. I would so appreciate your patience with me after everything I have been through and I will reward you with all the love and loyalty in the world. My team at Doris Banham has taught me how to live and love again and now I am ready to trust the world and find my family. But I have to wait for my family to find me and I know how badly my rescue is struggling to survive. I desperately need them to survive to give me the time I need and to keep all my friends here safe because so many of them are not ready like me to be rehomed. I am looking for my home now so please could you hold me tight and support my care whilst I wait for my special family to come for me.

About Boss

What life with Boss looks like

Boss is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Doris Banham Dog Rescue in North Hykeham.

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 Boss, answered.

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