Rupert

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Rupert came into branch on 22nd September 2026 through no fault of his own. He has had a pampered life and his previous owners have left an extensive bio regarding Rupert’s personality and likes and dislikes to give him the best chance of finding a perfect forever home. Rupert is a social dog who enjoys human interaction and companionship. He loves to sleep on the bed or coolmat, have cuddles and go on plenty of days out. He particularly loves a trip down to the pub as well as camping and festivals. When not sleeping or socialising he can be found playing with squeaky toys or barking at delivery people. Rupert is housetrained and has “good” recall, as long as a cat isn’t nearby. He has been used to daily walks between 30 mins to an hour on dry land as he really dislikes water. Rupert is not fond of bigger dogs so any potential roommate would have to be small like him. He has not been tested with children.

About Rupert

What life with Rupert looks like

Rupert is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at RSPCA Lincolnshire Mid & Lincoln Branch in United Kingdom.

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 Rupert, answered.

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