Hank

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hank is a small boy with a big personality! He travels well in the car, house trained, walks lovely on lead and can parallel walk with other dogs. Hank can initially be worried by strangers, but it doesn't take to long to win him around, and he will be in your lap in no time, which will be his favourite place to be! He does love his home luxiouries such as a comfy bed and blanket to be tucked in with! Hank loves playing with toys and will take any treats, he is a real foodie! Hank is looking for an adult only home and needs to be the only dog in the home, although he can live with securely caged small animals. Hank is happiest when around people he knows but does also have good history of being left alone, so could be left 5 hours if needed. Hank does have medical needs which will be discussed with any potential family.

About Hank

What life with Hank looks like

Hank is a large adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Loughborough in Wymeswold.

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 Hank, answered.

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