Ollie

Lurcher · Male · Senior · 10 years

Could you offer this wonderful pair the senior chill-out home they deserve? In return, you'll gain two loyal companions who are ready to fill your days with friendship, love, and plenty of gentle companionship. Stan the Patterdale and Ollie the Lurcher are the very best of friends and are searching for a forever home where they can stay together. At 10 years old, this bonded duo are ready to enjoy a quieter pace of life, filled with gentle walks, cosy naps, and plenty of time relaxing in the sunshine. They have shared so much of life's journey together and would love to find a family willing to welcome them both into their hearts and home. Stan and Ollie are looking for a calm, loving environment where they can enjoy their golden years side by side. Whether it's pottering around the garden, stretching out in a sunny spot, or enjoying a leisurely stroll, these two are happiest when they're together.

About Ollie

What life with Ollie looks like

Ollie is a senior lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cumbria in Cumbria.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ollie, answered.

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