How do I contact the shelter about Skip?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Doris Banham Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Skip on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Skip if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Doris Banham 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 Skip 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 Skip 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 Doris Banham Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Skip 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.

SKIP IS LOOKING FOR HIS ‘HAPPY EVER AFTER HOME’ - COULD THAT BE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW? Skip was due to be put to sleep by the rescue that he was at – so we had to save him. Thank goodness we did..... This fun-loving boy loves to play Skip has shown that he is very responsive to ‘treat training’. In the past, Skip was ‘food aggressive’ but he will now wait for food until given permission. Skip can be very affectionate once he gets to know you. Skip is based in Lincoln. Skip is definitely a ‘dominant male’ dog and would not want a home with other male dogs. Skip would potentially be fine in a home with a female dog – ‘meet and greets’ would need to take place to check that a bond is possible with the female dog. Skip has not been cat tested. Skip will need an ‘adult only’ home. Skip is not friendly towards children and we believe that this is connected to his past experiences, before he entered our care. Could you be the special someone who will give Skip the second chance he deserves? Call for more information Call for more information If you feel that you can offer a home please fill in our Application Form Apply To Adopt Also looking for a home Toffee Sadie Rolo Rocky Roary Lucky Lewis Jäger Carmen Bella (OEH)

About Skip

What life with Skip looks like

Skip is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Doris Banham Dog Rescue in North Hykeham.

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.
