Patrick

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I’m a handsome ex-racing Greyhound, now looking for a calm and understanding home where I can enjoy my retirement. Life after racing is all a bit new to me, so I’ll need someone patient who can help me take things at my own pace while I figure out the world. I do have quite a strong prey drive (it’s in my nature!), which means I can’t live with cats, small dogs, birds, or anything small and fluffy. I might be able to live with another dog my size who has a similar calm temperament, as long as we’re introduced properly. One thing I’d really love is a secure garden with 6ft fencing so I can have a good run around and show off my zoomies – I promise they’re worth watching! Because I can be a little nervous around busy roads and traffic, I’d feel much more comfortable in a semi-rural home where things are quieter. I could live with children aged 11 and over, especially if they understand that I sometimes need a bit of space to relax and feel safe. I’d be a great match for someone who already knows a bit about Greyhounds, or someone willing to learn about what makes us special. Once I feel settled, I’ve got lots of love to give and I’m really looking forward to finding my forever home 🐾

About Patrick

What life with Patrick looks like

Patrick 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 Patrick, answered.

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