Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hi, I’m Rocky! I’m a handsome 4 year old Poodle cross looking for a special home to call my own. I’ve come from a loving home and am now searching for an understanding family who can help me continue to build my confidence and settle into my next chapter. I’m a loving, affectionate boy who enjoys company and likes being close to my people. I can be a little unsure in new situations, so I’ll need a patient owner who will give me the time and support I need to flourish. With reassurance and consistency, my confidence continues to grow. I’ve happily lived with another dog before and could live with a calm, confident canine companion who can help show me the way. I’ll also need my leaving hours built up gradually, so a home where this can be worked on positively is important. My ideal home will have a secure garden with 6ft fencing, children aged 14+, and no cats or small furries. As I’m looking for a home closer to the centre, my new family will ideally live within around 30 minutes of the centre. This will help make sure I can receive the support I need to settle into my new home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and have the understanding to help me reach my full potential, I could be the perfect addition to your family. ❤️🐾

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Lincoln.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Rocky, answered.

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