Dexter

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

I’m a handsome Lab cross Staffy and, if I do say so myself, I’m the perfect blend of both breeds. I’ve got the Staffy’s little rocket energy and enthusiasm, combined with a Lab’s absolute obsession with balls – honestly, if you’ve got a ball, we’ll be best friends in no time! Because I like to stretch my legs and enjoy the occasional zoomie, I’ll need a home with a secure 6ft fenced garden where I can safely burn off some energy and chase a ball or two. I get on well with other dogs and enjoy making friends when I’m out on walks. While I don’t need a doggy companion at home, I could live with another friendly dog following a successful introduction. I’d also be happy as your only pet, as I simply enjoy the chance to socialise with other dogs from time to time. I could live with children aged 14+ who understand that I’m still a young, enthusiastic lad and can be a little bouncy when I’m excited. One thing you should know about me is that I love my people very much. Because of this, I can get a little worried when left alone, so I’ll need a family who are willing to gradually build up my leaving time and help me learn that being on my own isn’t so scary. I’m also quite strong on the lead and, as a young boy, I’ll need a family committed to continuing my training and helping me polish my manners. I’m a clever chap and with consistency and guidance, I’ll make great progress. In return, I promise to bring plenty of laughter, fun, cuddles, and love into your life. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend with a big personality and an even bigger heart, I could be the boy for you!

About Dexter

What life with Dexter looks like

Dexter is a medium-sized 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. 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 Dexter, answered.

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