Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hi, I’m Max! ❤️ I’m a little old man looking for somewhere special to spend my retirement years, and I think it’s about time I found a home where I can be thoroughly spoilt and made a priority! I’m a super friendly chap who absolutely LOVES everyone and anyone. I haven’t met a person I don’t like, and I’d be quite happy sharing my home with children aged 11 years and over, providing they’re respectful of me and understand that I’m a little older gentleman who deserves a bit of consideration. Now, I should probably warn you that I’m not the sort of chap who likes to be ignored! I absolutely LOVE making myself known and will happily have a little chat with you if I feel I’m not getting the attention I deserve. I do have some separation anxiety, as I get rather sad when my favourite people leave me behind. Because of this, I’m looking for a home where someone will be around for most of the time. I really do love my humans, and I’d much rather be by your side than home alone! When it comes to walks, I’m not looking for a retirement filled with long, exhausting adventures. Those days are behind me! I’d much prefer a gentle potter, plenty of sniffing and taking life at my own pace. The team would be more than happy to chat through my walking requirements and the reasons behind them over the phone, so please don’t hesitate to ask. As for sharing my home, I’m afraid I’m a little set in my ways and would prefer to be your one and only pet. Small caged animals may be considered, provided they’re safely kept out of my way. I may be a little older, but I’ve still got plenty of love to give, a lot to say and an awful lot of cuddles to share. I’m simply looking for someone who wants a devoted little companion to cherish, spoil and make their number one priority. I think I’ve earned that, don’t you? ❤️

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a small 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 Max, answered.

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