Skye

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hello, lovely people! My name is Skye and I’m a 4-year-old crossbreed looking for a very special home where I can take things at my own pace. I can be a little shy when we first meet, so please don’t expect me to rush over and say hello straight away. I just need a little time to get to know you and feel safe. But once I’ve decided you’re my friend, you’ll have a bestie for life! I’m actually a very cuddly and affectionate girl when I know and trust you, and I love nothing more than relaxing with my favourite people. I really enjoy going for walks, although I can sometimes feel anxious, so quieter walking areas would suit me best. I’d love to have an understanding owner who can help me build my confidence without putting too much pressure on me. I need to be the only pet in the home but may be able to have dog walking friends if I can get to know them slowly over time. My ideal home would be calm and peaceful, with adults only or children aged 14+ who have experience around nervous dogs. I’m looking for someone who understands that I might need a little while to settle into a new home. Once I feel safe and realise I’m with people I can trust, I’ll be able to relax, show you my loving side and let my wonderful personality shine. Once I’m settled, I can be left for short periods of around two hours, so I don’t need you to be with me every minute of the day. I know I might need a little more patience than some dogs, but I promise that if you give me the time, kindness and understanding I need, I’ll repay you with all the love and loyalty in my heart. ❤️ Could you be the patient, loving person I’ve been waiting for?

About Skye

What life with Skye looks like

Skye is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Skye, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Skye?
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 Skye on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Skye 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 Skye 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 Skye 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 Skye 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.
