Ivy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hello lovely people, my name is Ivy, and I’m a very sweet little girl who is hoping that my forever family is out there somewhere waiting to find me. I didn’t come into the centre in the best condition, but I’m ready to put all of that behind me and start my next chapter with a family who will love me as much as I love them. My absolute favourite thing in the whole world is a fuss and a cuddle. Honestly, if you have a spare pair of hands for ear scratches, tummy rubs and cuddles, I’m your girl! I adore meeting new people and will happily make friends with everyone who wants to give me a bit of attention. I just love being around my people. ❤️ Because I love my humans so much, I’m looking for a home where someone is around for most of the time. I can be left for periods of time, but I’ll need my new family to build this up gradually once I’ve settled in. I’d like my new home to have children aged 11+ who understand that I can sometimes get very excited. I have lots of love and enthusiasm to give, and sometimes my excitement gets the better of me! A secure garden would be wonderful too. I’m housetrained, so having somewhere safe where I can potter about, have a good sniff and do my business would be perfect. I’ve previously lived with another dog, so I may be happy to have a doggy brother or sister in my new home, provided we meet here at the centre first and we both think we’d make good friends. And if I decide I’d rather be the only dog at home, that’s okay too – I’d be more than happy to have some sensible doggy walking buddies. There is one important thing my new family needs to know about me. I’m a Bulldog cross, which means I do have some medical issues that need to be considered. The lovely team here will be able to talk you through everything and make sure you understand what I need to keep me happy and comfortable. But if you’re looking for the sweetest, fussiest little girl who will happily soak up all the love you have to give, then maybe… just maybe… I’m the girl you’ve been looking for. I’ve had a difficult beginning, but I’m ready for my happy ending.

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy 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 Ivy, answered.

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