Max

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

I’m an 18-month-old crossbreed with long, lanky legs, a big personality and a mind that is always on the go! I’m a bit of a mystery mix, so we don’t know exactly what breeds make up my family tree. What we do know is that, despite not looking like a typical Collie, I definitely show some Collie-like behaviours. I’m a clever boy with a busy mind who loves having a job to do, and I’m looking for a home that will keep both my body and my brain busy. I’m being rehomed through no fault of my own, and I’m looking for a family who really wants an adventure companion. I’d love to try dog sports such as agility or Canicross, or spend my days exploring the countryside, enjoying long walks and going on exciting adventures. When we’re not out exploring, I’d love you to keep my brain occupied with enrichment, training and fun activities. I’m a boy who likes to have a purpose! I’m also a very affectionate and rather clingy chap. I want to be where you are, preferably right beside you, and I’m looking for a family who wants me to be a true part of their lives. If you’re happy to share your sofa, your bed and pretty much everything else with a very loving four-legged shadow, we’re going to get along brilliantly! I could potentially live with children aged 8 and over, provided they are comfortable around an energetic and enthusiastic dog like me. I’d love a family who understands that I can be busy and excitable and will help me learn how to settle as well as keeping my clever brain occupied. When it comes to other dogs, I can be a little bit silly when meeting them, so I’ll need some help and guidance with my social skills. I may be able to have some calm walking friends in the future, but for now I’d like to be the only pet in the home while I learn how to be my best self. Because I love my people so much, I’m also looking for a home where I won’t be left for long periods. My family will need to be around for me, or be willing to build up my time alone gradually and at my own pace. I have managed to be left for 4-5 hours previously. If you’re looking for an energetic, clever and affectionate adventure companion who wants to be your whole world, I might just be the boy for you. I’m ready to find someone who will embrace my busy brain, my long legs and my enormous capacity for love!

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Lincoln.

An young 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
