Adopt George

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

George is a gentle 11-year-old Golden Retriever looking for a lovely retirement home through Jerry Green Dog Rescue in South Lincolnshire. A calm and laid back chap, he deserves the best forever home. George is a happy and friendly boy who hopes to find a calm and peaceful home where he is the only pet. He could live with older children aged 11yrs+ who understand that senior dogs need peace and quiet and don't want to play all the time. He would love his own garden where he could wander and sniff at his own pace. He does have a few aches and pains for which he has pain relief and Jerry Green are happy to chat this through with anyone interested in giving George his forever home. George looks forward to gentle walks and with time and patience he would enjoy having some walking friends. George is happy being left on his own for a couple of hours. His favourite thing is food which he adores, and his humans come a close second ! An evening on the sofa with his people and a bag of treats, would be heaven for George. If you are looking for a loyal and affectionate companion then George could be your boy. ————————————————– If you can give George his loving forever home or would like to find out more, please contact Jerry Green South Lincolnshire as follows: Complete a Dog Application Form here , or Ext.500) or Email: Please mention that you saw George on Oldies Club website

About George

What life with George looks like

George is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

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 George, answered.

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