Harry

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

A loving German wirehaired pointing dog-like senior, approximately 55 cm, born 2014, neutered. Harry spent many years of his life in Slovakia chained up. A life that meant much too little freedom, closeness and security for a dog. All the more we wish that Harry finally begins a whole new chapter. A chapter with his own bed, loving people and the beautiful feeling of finally belonging somewhere. Harry is a friendly and balanced male despite his past. He is calm and pleasant to be around and gets along well with other dogs. Although he prefers females, he is now also very friendly with males. Harry is no longer looking for big adventures. What is more important to him are people who give him security and affection, cozy walks, a warm spot and of course the occasional treat. Harry may not be the youngest, but his heart is still full of love. And he would like to share this love with people who want to give him a beautiful, dignified, warm and secure time. There are also good health news: his blood test is unremarkable and he is fit for his age. Thank you, my dear, nothing alarming was found. Harry is 55 cm tall, resembles a German wirehaired pointing dog with his beautiful, little-haired coat and is simply enchanting. We wish Harry a loving home where he can enjoy his twilight years as a beloved family member. An older couple or a single person would be ideal for Harry. Harry is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, examined by a veterinarian and has an EU pet passport. He is already accustomed to a harness and leash. If you would like to meet Harry and give him a loving forever home, we would be very happy to hear from you. Either directly through our form: Or by phone at:

Liebevoller Dt. Drahthaar ähnl. Senior, ca. 55 cm, geboren 2014, kastriert Harry hat viele Jahre seines Lebens in der Slowakei an der Kette verbringen müssen. Ein Leben, das für einen Hund viel zu wenig Freiheit, Nähe und Geborgenheit bedeutet. Umso mehr wünschen wir uns, dass für Harry nun endlich ein ganz neues Kapitel beginnt. Ein Kapitel mit einem eigenen Körbchen, liebevollen Menschen und dem schönen Gefühl, endlich irgendwo dazuzugehören. Harry ist trotz seiner Vergangenheit ein freundlicher und ausgeglichener Rüde. Er zeigt sich ruhig und angenehm im Umgang und versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden. Auch wenn er Hündinnen bevorzugt, zeigt er sich inzwischen auch mit Rüden sehr freundlich. Für große Abenteuer ist Harry nicht mehr auf der Suche. Viel wichtiger sind ihm Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit und Zuwendung schenken, gemütliche Spaziergänge, ein warmes Plätzchen und natürlich das ein oder andere Leckerchen. Harry ist vielleicht nicht mehr der jüngste, aber sein Herz ist noch voller Liebe. Und genau diese Liebe möchte er nun endlich mit Menschen teilen, die ihm noch eine schöne, würdevolle, warme und geborgene Zeit schenken möchten. Auch gesundheitlich gibt es schöne Nachrichten: Sein Blutbild ist unauffällig und er ist seinem Alter entsprechend fit. Es danke schön, mein Schatz konnte nichts besorgniserregendes festgestellt werden. Harry ist 55 cm groß, ähnelt mit seinem schönen, wenig haarenden Fell an einen Dt. Drahthaar und ist einfach bezaubernd. Wir wünschen uns für Harry ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend als geliebtes Familienmitglied genießen darf. Ein älteres Ehepaar oder eine Einzelperson wäre für Harry ideal. Harry ist gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU Tierpass. Er ist bereits an Geschirr und Leine gewöhnt Wenn du Harry kennenlernen möchtest und ihm ein liebevolles Für Immer Zuhause schenken möchtest, freuen wir uns sehr über deine Nachricht.

About Harry

What life with Harry looks like

Harry is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Harry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Harry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Harry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Harry if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Südkreta 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Harry 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 Harry 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 Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Harry 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.
