Sam

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I’m a 5-year-old Lab x Springer x Cocker, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that my nose is always busy! I absolutely love sniffing and exploring the world around me, whether that’s on a countryside walk or investigating every corner of the garden. There are just so many interesting smells out there! I’m a medium-sized lad with a gentle nature. When I first meet new people, I can be a little reserved, but give me some time to get to know you and you’ll discover what a sweet, affectionate boy I really am. Once we’ve become friends, I love being close to my people and enjoying plenty of fuss and cuddles. I get on well with other dogs both at home and out on walks, so I could happily share my home with a canine friend or enjoy making new doggy pals when I’m out and about. My ideal home would have children aged 11 years and over, along with a secure garden with 6ft fencing where I can safely stretch my legs and enjoy some sniffing adventures. I’m still working on being left alone, so my new family will need to help me gradually build up my leaving hours and give me the time and reassurance I need to settle into a new routine. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will join you on adventures, make you smile with his curious nature, and reward your patience with lots of love and affection, then I might just be the perfect match for you. Please apply for me below! Lots of love and licks, Sam 💚🐶

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a medium-sized 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 Sam, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sam?: 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 Sam on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sam 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sam 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 Sam 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 Sam 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.
