Barry

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Name: Barry. Rasse: Mischling. Geschlecht: männlich, kastriertGeburtsdatum: 02.01.2019 Berry ist ein besonderer Hund, der Menschen sucht, die bereit sind, wirklich hinzuschauen und ihm Zeit zu schenken. Der ruhige Rüde wurde ursprünglich von einem Verein aus Russland nach Deutschland importiert und verbrachte anschließend viele Jahre in einer Pflegestelle. Leider wissen wir kaum, was er dort tatsächlich kennenlernen durfte – denn vieles deutet darauf hin, dass Berry vom Alltag und den Anforderungen unseres Lebens hier nur sehr wenig mitbekommen hat. Aufgrund gesundheitlicher Probleme seines Halters wurde er schließlich im Tierheim abgegeben und muss nun noch einmal ganz neu anfangen. Berry ist kein klassischer Angsthund, aber ein Hund, dem gewissermaßen der „Werkzeugkoffer“ fehlt, um sich in unserer Welt selbstverständlich zurechtzufinden. Viele Dinge sind ihm fremd, weshalb er neuen Menschen zunächst mit Misstrauen begegnet. Fremde werden von ihm anfangs eher ignoriert, während er zu seinen festen Bezugspersonen in der Quarantäne bereits eine schöne Bindung aufgebaut hat. Dort zeigt er Freude, erkennt seine Menschen wieder und genießt die Sicherheit vertrauter Abläufe. Routine bedeute

About Barry

What life with Barry looks like

Barry is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Oellschuetz 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. Tierheim Oellschuetz 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 — Tierheim Oellschuetz 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 Tierheim Oellschuetz 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.
