Lennox

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

It's official. Lennox is our most loved, most handsome and most unlucky dog. Lennox recently celebrated a very sad birthday, marking 4 years of being in our care - 12 months in a home, the rest in kennels. That's 4 years too long. That's 4 years waiting for the forever family we know Lennox would worship. Yes, he is a strong boy who struggles to make doggy friends. But Lennox makes up for this challenge in so many ways. He simply ADORES people. He bonds very, very deeply. He loves unconditionally. If you think you can offer Lennox the same love, devotion and understanding in return, please read on, hear his story, and talk to us about Lennox! Lennox loves people and is simply a bouncy goof ball - mostly Mastiff/ Boxer/Corso mix with a tiny bit of St Bernard thrown in! Lennox was born in the UK and found wandering the streets of a town in the Northeast of England at just 10 months old. Since then, his story has broken our hearts. Lennox has been picked several times, adopted twice but ended up coming back to us each time through no fault of his own. Lennox has spent nearly 3 years in kennels all in all. Most recently Lennox was adopted by a lovely woman and we thought he had finally found his golden settee. He bonded deeply with his owner, lived well with visiting children but, due to a drastic change in the circumstances, Lennox was given up and returned to kennels in January this year. Everyone who meets Lennox falls madly in love with him. Despite everything he has been through, Lennox has never lost his spirit and joy for life. But the moving from one place to another and extended time in kennels has taken its toll. Lennox used to be able to walk past dogs on the lead. Sadly he is now dog reactive. He needs help to overcome his anxieties in this direction. But he is super bright, keen to learn and desperate to be loved. We truly believe that in the right environment, Lennox can learn to be calm around other dogs, even if he can never live with another furry. And finally, Lennox asked us to tell you that despite his power, he is actually more brains than brawn. “Play with me and you’ll find out, I’m a very clever, loving boy under all that magnificent sinew”.

About Lennox

What life with Lennox looks like

Lennox is a very small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Saving Saints Rescue UK (Big Paws Welfare) in United Kingdom.

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 Lennox, answered.

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