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.

Name of the dog: Harris Gender: [✓] male [ ] female neutered: [✓] Yes [ ] No Breed: Laika mix Age: 4 years Waiting since: 2022 Size: 56 cm Weight: 24 kg Background: Harris was tied up together with his mother Aria in a factory. When the owner decided to close the factory, he initially planned to sell the dogs to a dog meat farm. After our intervention and corresponding persuasion, Harris was instead transferred to a municipal animal shelter. Character description: Harris appears calm and cautious in unknown environments. However, once he arrives as a service dog and builds a bond with his primary caregiver, he shows himself playful and reveals many loving and affectionate behaviors. Treats are a good motivation during training, and he can already sit and politely wait for a treat. Cat compatible? [ ] Yes [ ] No [✓] Unknown Compatible with other dogs? [✓] Yes [ ] No [ ] Unknown Vaccinated? [✓] Yes [ ] No Fully vaccinated. Special features: During his first car ride in a transport box, Harris initially showed discomfort, but quickly calmed down and could then remain calm and relaxed.

In new environments, he usually avoids letting go - possibly to not leave scent trails. Towards strange dogs, he shows little interest and usually reacts hardly to them. Gets along with other cats.

Name des Hundes: Harris Geschlecht: [✓] männlich [ ] weiblich Kastriert: [✓] Ja [ ] Nein Rasse: Laika-Mix Alter: 4 Jahre Wartet seit: 2022 Größe: 56 cm Gewicht: 24 kg Vorgeschichte: Harris wurde gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter Aria angebunden in einer Fabrik gehalten. Als der Besitzer beschloss, die Fabrik zu schließen, plante er zunächst, die Hunde an eine Hundefleischfarm zu verkaufen. Nach unserem Eingreifen und entsprechender Überzeugungsarbeit wurde Harris stattdessen in ein städtisches Tierheim überführt. Charakterbeschreibung: Harris wirkt in unbekannten Umgebungen ruhig und vorsichtig. Sobald er jedoch als Begleithund ankommt und eine Bindung zu seiner Bezugsperson aufbaut, zeigt er sich verspielt und offenbart viele liebevolle und anhängliche Verhaltensweisen. Futterleckerlis sind eine gute Motivation beim Training, und er kann bereits sitzen und höflich auf ein Leckerli warten. Katzenverträglich? [ ] Ja [ ] Nein [✓] Unbekannt Mit anderen Hunden verträglich? [✓] Ja [ ] Nein [ ] Unbekannt Geimpft? [✓] Ja [ ] Nein Vollständig geimpft. Besonderheiten: Bei seiner ersten Autofahrt in einer Transportbox zeigte Harris zunächst Unbehagen, beruhigte sich jedoch schnell und konnte anschließend ruhig und entspannt bleiben. Er erbricht sich nicht und sabbert nicht während der Fahrt. Bei Spaziergängen in dunklen oder unbekannten Gegenden bleibt Harris häufig stehen und beobachtet aufmerksam fremde Menschen oder ungewohnte Umrisse. In neuen Umgebungen vermeidet er es meist, sich zu lösen – möglicherweise, um keine Duftspuren zu hinterlassen. Gegenüber fremden Hunden zeigt er wenig Interesse und reagiert in der Regel kaum auf sie.
