Russell

English Bulldog · Male · Young · 3 years

Russell is a 3 year old male French Bulldog looking for his forever home. He's vaccinated and micro-chipped. He had a herniated disc, which he has recovered from after visiting the vets, however, he will sometimes drag his right leg when tired. Russell has lived with children and is fully house-trained. He has recently become reactive to the resident dog and would suit a home without other dogs. He has been ok walking around other dogs on the lead. Please enquire.

About Russell

What life with Russell looks like

Russell is a young adult english bulldog dog waiting at Greenleaf Animal Rescue in Leeds.

An young 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 Russell, answered.

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