Adopt Harper

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Harper was adopted from us back in 2021 but has sadly had to be returned to us due to not getting along with the other dog in the house. 😔 He is a large crossbreed who originally came across from Romania as a puppy. He is a loveable character who will make a wonderful companion in the right home. 🥰 He walks really well on a lead but he does have the size and strength to pull towards something of interest so he will need someone who can manage him. Whilst being here, he has passed some dogs happily with no reaction at all but has taken a disliking to others. We will be looking to place him as an only dog. He has been friendly with everyone he has met so far whilst being with us, but he can be a little bit timid of new people to begin with when he first meets them. We were told by his previous owners that he was ok with older visiting children but he has never lived with children so we are looking to place him in an adult only home or in a home with older children 12+. He cannot be rehomed with small animals or cats. If you think you can offer Harper a loving home then please call us on any day between 11am -2pm. 😊

About Harper

What life with Harper looks like

Harper is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hull Animal Welfare Trust in South Cave.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Harper, answered.

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