Eric

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Name: Eric. Breed: Istrian Hunting Dog. Age: born 1.2022. Gender: male. Size: medium. Neutered: too young. Location / Country: Italy. Description: Eric – discarded like trash on the highway We can only imagine the fate of Eric… He was probably acquired by a hunter for hunting purposes but failed the training and proved unsuitable as a hunting dog. What use does a cold-blooded and heartless hunter have for such an animal? He disposes of it as one would an empty chocolate box, completely ignoring that a dog is a wonderful living being, often more affectionate and kinder than many two-legged fellow animals among us. This fate caught up with Eric on a busy highway. His previous owner abandoned him there, leaving Eric to his fate and the dangers of such a large road… Fortunately, the poor wandering Eric was quickly discovered and rescued by a kind animal rescuer. Today, Eric lives with the animal rescuer and has revealed himself to be a particularly loving and cuddly little dog who greatly enjoys any human company and petting. Eric highly appreciates a soft, cozy, warm spot. But he also gets along very well with his four-legged fellow animals, strolling around with them and playing and roughhousing with great joy and fun, but without any aggression. Eric clearly shows that he values the life of a family dog very much. Whether as a single prince or in the company of friendly fellow animals, both would suit Eric. However, he also shows that he is not really suited for hunting. Does Eric pique your curiosity? Would you like to give Eric a warm, safe place filled with love and security? Eric would be grateful to you for life and faithfully accompany you. We look forward to your message for Eric! Cat-friendly: unknown. Compatible with fellow animals: with male dogs, with female dogs. Contact person: Frau Christine Sander. Email: « Sally (von Olivia) Godzilla ». Gets along with other dogs.

Name: Eric. Rasse: Istrischer JagdhundAlter: geboren =1.2022. Geschlecht: männlichGröße: mittelgross. Kastriert/Sterilisiert: noch zu klein Aufenthalts Ort / Land: Italien Beschreibung Eric – wie Müll auf der Schnellstraße entsorgt Wir können uns das Schicksal von Eric nur ausmalen… Vermutlich wurde er von einem Jäger für die Jagd angeschafft, hat die Ausbildung aber nicht bestanden und zeigte sich als Jagdhund untauglich. Was soll ein kaltblütiger und herzloser Jäger mit so einem Tier? Er entledigt sich seiner, wie man eine leere Pralinenschachtel entsorgt. Dabei völlig verdrängend, dass ein Hund ein wunderbares Lebewesen ist, das bestimmt deutlich lieber und herzlicher als mancher zweibeiniger Artgenosse von uns ist. Eric suchte dies Schicksal auf einer stark befahrenen Schnellstraße heim. Sein vorheriger Besitzer setzte ihn dort aus und überließ Eric seinem Schicksal und den Gefahren einer so großen Strasse… Glücklicherweise wurde der arme herumirrende Eric recht schnell entdeckt und konnte von einer lieben Tierschützerin gerettet werden. Heute lebt Eric bei der Tierschützerin und entpuppt sich als besonders lieber und verschmuster kleiner Hundemann, der jegliche menschliche Nähe und Streicheleinheit extrem genießt. Eric weiß ein weiches und gemütliches warmes Plätzchen sehr zu schätzen. Aber auch mit seinen vierbeinigen Artgenossen kommt der Rüde sehr gut aus, strolcht mit ihnen herum und spielt sowie tobt und balgt gern mit ihnen – alles mit Spaß und Freude, aber ohne Aggressionen. Eric zeigt sehr deutlich, dass er das Leben eines Familienhundes sehr zu schätzen weiß. Ob als Einzelprinz oder in Gesellschaft mit liebenswürdigen Artgenossen, beides wäre Eric recht. Aber er zeigt auch, dass er eher nicht zum Jagdhund taugt. Macht Eric Sie neugierig? Möchten Sie Eric, das geliebte warme sichere Plätzchen gepaart mit Liebe und Geborgenheit geben? Eric würde es Ihnen ein Leben lang danke und Sie treu begleiten. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Nachricht für Eric! Katzenverträglich: unbekannt. Verträglich mit Artgenossen: mit Rüden, mit Hündinnen Ansprechpartner: Frau Christine Sander Email: « Sally (von Olivia) Godzilla » Weitere Hunde

About Eric

What life with Eric looks like

Eric is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Adozioni del cuore e.V. in Wedel.

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 Eric, answered.

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