Louie

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Puppy · 9 months

This little pocket rocket is the adorable 8-month old Jack Russel cross Pomeranian - lovely Louie. He is a sweet natured soul who is looking for a quiet, adult-only home who can help him to settle in slowly as he can be worried when left or separated from his humans. He can be vocal when he is left so he would be best suited to a family that is happy to work with him on this while he gets used to his new home. Louie loves playing fetch, meeting other dogs and lots and lots of fusses. Louie is looking for an adult only home who are happy to work with him on his seperation anxiety and are comfortable with a vocal dog. He is a social boy and so could live with another dog dependant on successful meets at the centre (as long as they are neutered). He would thrive in a home without cats but could live with small furries if they were kept separate. As he can try to slip past your legs he would suit a house where he can be seperated from the door and from people while he works on his ability to be left - for this reason his ideal home would have a family that is around most of the time while he learns to settle.

About Louie

What life with Louie looks like

Louie is a small puppy jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Manchester in Manchester.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Louie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Louie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Manchester handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Louie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Louie if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Manchester 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Louie 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 Louie 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 Dogs Trust Manchester early rather than rehoming privately; they know Louie 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.
