Maggie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

I’m a 4-year-old whippet cross, and if I could sum myself up in one sentence, it would be: “professional best friend.” I absolutely love people — honestly, I haven’t met one yet that I didn’t want to say hello to! Whether you’re family, a visitor, or someone I spot on a walk, I’ll be ready with a waggy tail and my biggest smile. I can be a little shy at first and takes me a bit of time to build my trust, so looking for a family with patience to take this at my own pace. I’m a fun, playful girl too. My toys are some of my favourite things, and I’m always up for a game or a little zoom around. Speaking of zoomies… I really hope my new home has a nice, secure garden, because I love to stretch my legs, run fast, and just enjoy being my silly, happy self. Walks are another highlight of my day. I enjoy getting out and about, exploring new places, and taking in all the sights and smells. I can potentially live with another dog pending a meet at the centre, i am looking for a friend that is a similar size and a calm role model I could live with children aged 11 and over who understand that sometimes I might need a little space to relax after all my adventures. When it comes to being left alone, I’ll need a bit of help settling in at first. Short leaving times to begin with will really help me feel safe and secure, but with time and patience, this could be built up to around 2–4 hours. What I’m really looking for is a home where I can be part of the family — going on walks, playing with my toys, having cuddles, and just being your loyal companion. If you’re looking for a loving, friendly, slightly zoomy best friend… I think we might be perfect for each other.

About Maggie

What life with Maggie looks like

Maggie is a medium-sized 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. 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 Maggie, answered.

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