Barry

Mixed Breed · Male

Barry was found on a finca. He is a sweet, happy little boy, very playful, lively, and full of energy. Just a typical Border collie, super intelligent. We are looking for active people for Barry who also like to go outside even on bad weather. When Barry is fully grown, he will be around 50 cm tall and weigh about 14-20 kg. What you need to know: The Border collie is very enthusiastic and eager in his character. He is an active dog, originally bred as a herding dog! He would also make a great candidate for dog sports, he is just waiting for instructions. He bonds closely with his family. If the dog gets a lot of time and mental stimulation, he is also suitable for a family with smaller children!

Barry fand man auf einer Finca. Er ist ein süßer glücklicher Junge, sehr verspielt, lebhaft und energiegeladen. Eben ein typischer Bordercollie super intelligent. Wir suchen für Barry aktive Menschen, die auch bei schlechten Wetter gern nach draußen gehen. Wenn Barry ausgewachsen ist wird er mal circa 50 cm groß und etwa14-20 kg schwer sein. Was man unbedingt wissen muss: Der Border ist in seinem Charakter sehr eifrig und begeisterungsfähig. Er ist ein aktiver Hund, der ursprünglich als Hütehund gezüchtet wurde! Er würde sich auch sehr gut für Hundesport eignen, er wartet gerade auf Anweisungen Er bindet sich eng an seine Familie. Wenn der Hund viel Zeit und Beschäftigung gewidmet bekommt, ist er auch für eine Familie mit kleineren Kindern geeignet! Es liegt in seiner Natur, alles zu hüten, was sich bewegt, – das gilt auch für kleine Kinder

About Barry

What life with Barry looks like

Barry is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Barry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Barry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Barry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Barry if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Barry 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 Barry 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 Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Barry 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 (DE). 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.
