Jodie

Mixed Breed · Female

🐾 Meet Jodie – Please Give This Special Girl Her Happily Ever After ❤️ Everyone meet Jodie. For many of you, Jodie will be a very familiar face from both our social media and our website. For a long time, we were looking for a home for Jodie alongside her beloved dad, Charlie. Sadly, Charlie passed away a few weeks ago. 💔 It has taken me quite some time to even be able to write this post and remove their profiles from the website. Charlie never got the chance to make it home, and that is something we will always be incredibly sad about. But we don’t want the same to happen to Jodie. Jodie has coped incredibly well since losing her dad. Of course, she has been sad and a little down, but the whole team have been surrounding her with as much love, comfort and attention as we possibly can. ❤️ And now, more than ever, Jodie needs a family of her own. Jodie really doesn’t ask for much. She is a wonderfully loving, gentle girl who is happy with the simple things in life. 🛏️ She loves her big, squishy beds 🐙 She sleeps with her beloved big blue octopus 🌳 She enjoys pottering around the garden 🚶‍♀️ A couple of gentle 15-minute walks each day are plenty for her 🍽️ She eats well 🏡 She’s wonderfully clean and keeps her bedroom spotless ❤️ She loves people and is happy to see everyone Jodie shows very little interest in other dogs, but we feel she would be happiest as the only dog in the home, where she can have all the love and attention for herself. She also loves children. What we are looking for now is something very special — a family who can look beyond the grey hairs on Jodie’s face and see the wonderful dog underneath. Someone who understands that she has lost the companion she knew and loved, and who will give her the security, patience and unconditional love she deserves. Jodie doesn’t need a big adventure. She doesn’t need a busy lifestyle. She simply needs a sofa, a garden, a comfy bed, someone to love her and a family that is hers. She has spent far too long waiting. Charlie never got to go home. Please don’t let Jodie leave us without knowing what it feels like to have a family of her own. ❤️ If you have room in your home — and, more importantly, room in your heart — for this incredibly special girl, please get in touch. Jodie deserves to be cherished for whatever years she has ahead of her. 🐾❤️

About Jodie

What life with Jodie looks like

Jodie is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Jodie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jodie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jodie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jodie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Jodie 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 Jodie 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jodie 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.
