Tulip

Female · Senior · 13 years

Meet Tulip Say hello to this beautiful 13-year-old Jack Russell Terrier lady, who is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by kindness, comfort and plenty of attention. She is a very friendly girl who absolutely loves being with her people. She walks beautifully on the lead and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal little friend to share their days with. For her next chapter, she would be best suited to a home where she can be the only dog, so she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. She could potentially live with older, dog-savvy children who understand that she is a senior lady and will respect her age, boundaries and individual needs. At almost 14 years young, she deserves to spend her retirement years feeling safe, cherished and truly special. Could you be the person who gives this sweet girl the loving home she deserves?

About Tulip

What life with Tulip looks like

Tulip is a senior dog waiting at Durham Dogs & Cats Home in United Kingdom.

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 Tulip, answered.

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