Toby & Derek

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

🐾 Hi everyone! My name’s Toby, and this is my little brother Derek! 🐾 We’re a very special bonded pair looking for a loving forever home together. As you can see, Derek and I make a great team. In fact, one of Derek’s favourite places to sit is right on my back. I don’t mind one bit, I make a pretty comfy chair if I do say so myself! 💚 I’m a friendly, affectionate Labrador who loves being around people and soaking up all the fuss and cuddles I can get. Derek is 5 years old and he’s my best friend; we’re hoping to find a family who’ll welcome us both with open arms. If that family happens to have snacks handy too, well, we certainly wouldn’t complain! 🦴😋 Our ideal home would be with children aged 14 and over. I’m a lovely boy, but I can get a little enthusiastic and bouncy when I’m excited, and sometimes I forget just how big I am! We enjoy meeting other dogs out on our walks, but we’d prefer to be the only dogs in the home so we can continue being each other’s favourite companion. We could happily live with dog-savvy cats who have experience living alongside dogs. We’d also love a secure garden where we can potter about, stretch our legs, and enjoy a spot of sunbathing whenever the British weather allows it! ☀️ Once we’ve settled into our new home, we could be left for a couple of hours at a time. Having each other around means we’re never short of company. If you’re looking for two loyal, loving companions who will fill your home with fun, friendship, and plenty of cuddles, then we could be the perfect pair for you. 💚 To apply for us, please complete an application below or contact the Nottinghamshire team for more information at Hope to meet you soon! Lots of licks, Toby and Derek 🐾

About Toby & Derek

What life with Toby & Derek looks like

Toby & Derek 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 Toby & Derek, answered.

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