Maisie

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Adult · 8 years

Maisie likes to be everybody’s friend! She’s currently living with a foster carer who tells us she’s absolutely amazing company! She’s house trained, great to walk (in quiet, dog-free areas!) and likes to spend her days chilling out with them and watching the world go by out of the window. She does have a luxating patella and some Arthritis, but this is under control with medication and our Vet will discuss in more detail. Please don't let this put you off our Marvellous Maisie as she has so much to give a new family. If you are looking for a really friendly, easy going little sofa buddy then make sure you add Maisie to your favourites. If you like little dogs with BIG personalities then you will love Maisie! She’s a super fun and friendly 8yr old Jack Russell Terrier who loves people. She will be a perfect pet for people who are looking for a fun and energetic little dog and are willing to continue her training. She can be a little noise sensitive, so sharing with young children or other pets wouldn't suit her. She is also very vocal towards other dogs, but this can be managed by walking her in quiet areas where she won't see too many.

About Maisie

What life with Maisie looks like

Maisie is a large adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Leeds in Leeds.

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 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 Maisie, answered.

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