Jake

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Please help Jake by sharing this page! Jolly Jake is a 9-year-old Beagle in the care of Last Chance Animal Rescue at their kennels in Edenbridge, Kent. He wants an adult-only home with no other pets but he does like having walkies with his dog friends. Jake takes a while to trust people as he was mistreated by a previous owner. He's wary of strangers, especially if they try to touch him. With people he knows and trusts, it's a different story and he's an affectionate boy. He does like to snuggle up to you on the sofa and prefers this to being approached and fussed. He feels safest if it's on his terms. Jake is extremely food orientated! He was overweight when he came into rescue and had developed diabetes. He has insulin injections twice a day which he's very good about. He's on a strictly controlled diet now and has carrots as treats, which he loves! The diabetes has caused some loss of vision. Like most dogs somewhat lacking in sight, he manages really well with his other senses; the nose knows. He just needs a bit of extra consideration in some situations. Jakes loves getting out to explore. He isn't fast or athletic but really enjoys a snuffly plod. He gets on with other dogs in general, especially ones he meets regularly, but he can be alarmed if any suddenly appear and get too close. He needs his human to advocate for him and ward off bouncy types who he can't see coming. Jake is a joy to take out and about. He so much deserves to be living his best life! If you're the experienced dog-lover who can give Jake a happy retirement, please contact Last Chance Animal Rescue as follows: Email them via their website contact form . leave a message if they can’t get to the phone) Please say you saw Jake on the Oldies Club website. This replaces Jake's original page dated 28 April 2025.

About Jake

What life with Jake looks like

Jake is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Jake, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jake?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jake on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jake if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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 Jake 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 Jake 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jake 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.
