Adopt Clive

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Clive is a wonderful little gentleman. His age hasn't stopped him at all! He is a lively little man and thrives when toys are involved. He would play with his toys all day if he could. Balls are his absolute favourite! He loves to zoom around off lead sniffing and exploring new things. Clive loves everyone he meets as long as they respect his space, and also enjoys seeing his calmer doggy friends when out and about. He is usually found curled up in his bed surrounded by his favourite toys. Clive would make a great companion! Clive is on the search for his forever home! He would love a quiet home with adopters who are able to understand his worries over formal handling and who can appreciate extra space. He is looking for adopters who can take him on sniffy walks and help him embrace the quieter life. Clive should be the only dog and pet in the home, but can have walking friends. Clive has had previous incidents and, therefore, would be best suited to live with older teenagers aged 16+ in the home who can understand his body language and when he needs space. He should have minimal visitors to begin with. Clive would like adult-only visitors, and the number of visitors is to be gradually introduced over time. He would like to have minimal leave hours to begin with as he settles into his new space, but with time, his leave time could be built up to 2-4 hours. Clive would absolutely love having his own secure, private garden, where he can enjoy pottering around and having bathroom breaks without needing much handling.

About Clive

What life with Clive looks like

Clive is a senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Harefield in Harefield.

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 Clive, answered.

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