Adopt Jimmy and Hector

Male · Adult · 5 years

Hector and Jimmy are 2 lovely GSD mixes who have been rescued by a kind lady who can no longer keep them. When Hector and Jimmy were almost 8/9 month old their rescuer neutered them and due to her health issues she had to put them in a shelter. Once the lady recovered she went to check on them and realised how depressed they were and how they had deteriorated. Due to their timid nature they were bullied by other dogs. And although she was very limited in what she could do she pulled them out of the shelter and kept them in a room to make sure at the very least they are safe and well fed. This room is literally 4 walls with no view, no air, no life…they are locked in day and night. Two lovely poor souls who haven’t seen the world for over a year now. Hector and Jimmy are 3 years old in October, it’s time their lives change, it’s time they see the world they cannot carry on living this way. Surprisingly despite their isolation they are loving dogs, they love their humans. They are child, dog and cat tested. Their rescuer is desperately seeking help to find Hector and Jimmy good homes where they can spend and enjoy the rest of their lives. Hector and Jimmy are very attached as they only had each other for so long so it will be wonderful if they can be rehomed by one loving family and we don’t have to separate them and break their hearts. They are both ready to travel. They are both neutered, rabies titre test done, and up to date with their vaccinations, deworming treatment and fleas and tick treatment…all they need is a home. Update March 2024: Jimmy and Hector have been moved to a good board facility for assessment and rehabilitation. We hope that they will acquire some more life skills there, which should help them find a home, and adjust more easily when they do. Update Sept 2024: The boys are thriving in boarding and have come out of their shell a lot. They are very friendly big bouncy boys with love to give in abundance. They would not be suited to a home with small kids as they are so lively. They could happily go to someone experienced with the breed. Update December 2025- The boys are doing well and still looking for a home. Hector had some health issues in Summer 25 due to an illness breakout at the boarding place where he is, but these are now fully resolved.

About Jimmy and Hector

What life with Jimmy and Hector looks like

Jimmy and Hector is a small adult cat waiting at Miracle in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧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 Jimmy and Hector, answered.

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