Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

🐾 Meet Hen – Your New Best Friend! Hello everyone, my name is Hen, and I’m a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross looking for my special someone to call my own! ❤️ I’m a lovely big girl with an even bigger heart! If you’re looking for a four-legged best friend who loves nothing more than cuddles, affection and being close to her humans, then I might just be the girl for you! I’m a real people-lover and an absolute snuggle bug. I haven’t quite realised how big I am, though, and I’m convinced I’m a lap dog! There’s nothing better than trying to squeeze my 35kg self onto your knee for a cuddle. After all, the closer I can be to you, the happier I am! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, but please don’t let that put you off. It doesn’t take me long to come out of my shell, and before you know it, you’ll be my very best friend. I do have a little something I’d like my new family to understand. I find being left on my own quite difficult, so I’m looking for a home where someone is around most of the time initially. I’ll need my leaving hours built up slowly and patiently as I settle in and learn that it’s okay when my humans have to pop out. Here’s a little more about my dream home: • 🏡 I’d love a quiet home in a low dog-population area, where I can enjoy a more peaceful environment. • 🐶 I’d like to be the only pet in the home so I can have all the love and attention to myself. • 👧 I can live with children aged 11 and over. • 🌳 A secure garden of my own would be absolutely wonderful! • 🐾 I enjoy my walks and love taking in all the wonderful sniffs along the way. Could you be the family I’ve been waiting for? I promise to bring plenty of love, cuddles into your life! Love and slobbery kisses, Hen ❤️

About Hen

What life with Hen looks like

Hen 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 Hen, answered.

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