Quinn

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 8 years

Quinn is a proper little character and very easy to fall for! This affectionate boy loves people, loves company and has a wonderfully sociable nature. He enjoys wandering about with his nose to the ground, investigating absolutely everything, before finding the nearest patch of sunshine for a well-earned rest. And then there’s food… Quinn is a BIG fan! He has a particularly persuasive set of puppy-dog eyes and is more than happy to deploy them whenever there’s a chance of a tasty treat. Quinn is the kind of little dog who could quickly become your best friend. Quinn is looking for a home where he can be right in the middle of family life! He can live with other dogs and would love a friendly doggy companion to potter around with. He can also live with secondary school-aged children. His new family will need to be around more initially, as Quinn will benefit from low leaving hours while he settles into his new home. He’s also a good traveller in the car, so he can happily tag along on adventures, trips out and wherever else you have planned!

About Quinn

What life with Quinn looks like

Quinn is a large adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury in Telford.

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 Quinn, answered.

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