Cecil

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hello! My name’s Cecil, and I’m a handsome lurcher of around four years old. If you’re looking for a gentle, friendly best friend, I might just be your perfect match. I absolutely love meeting new people and am always happy to make a new friend. I’ve got a sweet nature and plenty of love to give, but I might need a little patience while I settle into home life. It’s likely I’ve never lived in a house before, so things like sofas, TVs, washing machines and all those everyday household routines may be completely new to me. With kindness, reassurance and a little time, I’m sure I’ll soon work it all out. I can find being left on my own a bit worrying at first, so I’ll need someone who can help me build up my confidence gradually by increasing my alone time nice and slowly. Like many lurchers, I can also be a bit of an opportunist – if you’ve left something tasty on the kitchen counter, I might just see it as fair game! Don’t worry though, with good management and a consistent routine, I’ll soon learn the house rules. I’d love to have some doggy walking friends to join me on adventures, but I’d prefer not to share my home with cats or other small furry animals. If there are children in my new family, they’ll need to be aged 11 or over so everyone can enjoy living together comfortably. One thing I do need is a lovely, fully secure garden with 6ft fencing to keep me safe. I absolutely adore having a good zoom around, and I’d be over the moon if you could take me to secure paddocks where I can really stretch my long legs and run to my heart’s content. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate boy who’s ready to discover just how wonderful family life can be, I can’t wait to meet you. All I need is a little patience, plenty of love, and someone to help me become the happy, confident companion I know I can be.

About Cecil

What life with Cecil looks like

Cecil is a small 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 Cecil, answered.

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