Spud

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 13 years

Spud came into our care through no fault of his own. Despite his age he is still full of energy and loves going for his walks, he walks lovely on a lead. Spud is a typical terrier and can be quite vocal especially when you aren’t paying him attention. We feel that Spud would prefer a home where someone is around most of the day to spend time with him. Spud’s favourite game is fetch, he loves bringing it back and dropping it onto your knee. Spud has never lived with children before so we think that he would be best to be rehomed with children who are 16 years and over – Subject to a successful meet. Spud has said nice hellos to dogs out on his walks but doesn’t seem too fussed by them, he could potentially live with another older dog – Subject to a successful meet.

About Spud

What life with Spud looks like

Spud is a small senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Cheshire) in Warrington.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧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 Spud, answered.

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