Diesel

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hello, I’m Diesel, an 8-year-old gentleman looking for my forever home 🐶🐾 I’m a big lad with an even bigger heart, and I’m hoping to find a family who’ll love me just as I am. While I enjoy having a secure garden with 6ft+ fencing to relax in and watch the world go by, I also love getting out for my walks. Exploring new places, following interesting scents, and taking my time to investigate everything around me are some of my favourite things to do. A good sniffari is the perfect way to spend the day! I could live with a calm, friendly dog who will respect my space, and I may be able to share my home with a cat, pending a successful introduction. I can also live with children aged 11 and over who are used to being around large dogs and understand that sometimes I need a bit of room. Now, I do have a little confession to make… if there’s food left unattended on the kitchen counter, I might be tempted to help myself! My new family will need to be one step ahead of me when it comes to tasty treats. 🦴 I’m also known for being a bit of a comedian. Whether it’s my expressions, my antics, or the way I manage to make everyone around me smile, I’m guaranteed to bring plenty of laughter and entertainment to my new home. Life is never dull when I’m around! At 8 years old, I’ve left my puppy days behind, but I still have plenty of love, loyalty, and companionship to offer. If you’re looking for a handsome best friend who will keep you company, make you laugh, and fill your days with love, I could be the boy for you. Lots of love & licks, Diesel 💚🐾

About Diesel

What life with Diesel looks like

Diesel is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Diesel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diesel?: 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 Diesel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diesel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Diesel 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 Diesel 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 Diesel 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.
