Vixen

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Senior · 11 years

Vixen is an older lady, but is still full of energy, like a typical Jack Russell! Vixen loves to run around chasing a ball, she is very friendly towards people and loves a fuss. Vixen came to us after a police seizure, where she was found living outdoors, in a crate and was not in a good state. She is now doing very well and looking forwards to new adventures in a new home.

About Vixen

What life with Vixen looks like

Vixen is a medium-sized senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at ARC Animal Rescue Centre 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 Vixen, answered.

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