How do I contact the shelter about Lenny?

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 Lenny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lenny 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 Lenny 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 Lenny 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 Lenny 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.

Lenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Please help Lenny by sharing this page! Sweet old Lenny is a Lurcher of about 9 years who currently spends most of his time in kennels with Rescue Remedies near Gatwick, on the Surrey/West Sussex border. He does have regular weekend foster breaks but would dearly love a proper home of his own! Lenny is a gentle and affectionate boy who could live with older children. He wants to be the only pet at home but he does make dog friends out and about. He's such an easy dog to walk Rescue Remedies have him show new volunteer dog walkers the ropes. Gentleman though he is, he can be obsessive and opportunistic about food. Experience of a foody dog would be helpful because you can't leave anything edible within reach and sometimes have to be resolute despite those big, pleading eyes! Lenny's fondness for treats does at least mean he's easy to train because he's very clever and highly motivated by the noms! One volunteer walker said, "I’d never walked or met the gorgeous Lenny until yesterday! My goodness what a sweet soul! I got Lenny all harnessed up and off we went on a walk. He loves a good sniff and likes to take things at his own pace (which isn’t very fast lol) we then went to the paddock for a run around and cuddles! Lenny also loves a treat or 5!". Another said, "I was lucky enough to walk Lenny for the first time today, he is so popular it’s taken me nearly 8 months to nab him in the walkers diary! And having spent some time with him I can now see exactly why. He’s so easy to get out of his kennel and walk. He is so gorgeous when he nuzzles in to your leg as he’s walking gently beside you – a real show of affection. "We went in the paddock for a short time too, and he was quite keen on getting hold of my treat bag. I didn’t give in to him until we were on our way back to his kennel, but we had fun while he tried." If you want an affectionate, gentle dog and can work around Lenny’s food fixation, please contact Rescue Remedies as follows: Please read and follow the links in the Rescue Remedies Rehoming process here. Please note that Rescue Remedies has a policy of all adopters committing to keep adopted dogs on the lead at all times when out and about. Please say you saw Lenny on the Oldies Club website.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a large 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.
