Harvey

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

HARVEY lebt in einer Pflegestelle in Müden. Harvey wurde in Rumänien auf der Straße gefunden. Er war halb verhungert und konnte sich kaum noch auf den Beinen halten. Der freundliche Rüde wurde im Partnertierheim des ITV Grenzenlos in Sisterea aufgenommen und versorgt, geimpft, gechippt und kastriert. Er hatte sicher kein gutes Leben und hat Hunger gelitten. Die Narben an seinem Hals lassen vermuten, dass er an der Kette gehalten wurde. Irgendwie hat er sich befreit, dabei hat er sich vielleicht an der Halswirbelsäule verletzt. Zurückgeblieben ist eine leichte Schiefhaltung des Kopfes, die ihn aber nicht beeinträchtigt. Harvey ist seit Mitte September in einer Pflegestelle in Müden, wo er sich schon gut entwickelt hat. Er zeigt sich allen Menschen gegenüber freundlich und versteht sich gut mit den anderen Hunden. Harvey geht gern spazieren und fährt problemlos im Auto mit. Im Haus verhält er sich ruhig und ist stubenrein. Er ist ungefähr 10 Jahre alt und 45 cm hoch. Sein Blutbild ist unauffällig, allerdings hört er nicht mehr so gut. Für den liebenswerten Senior werden (gern auch ältere) Menschen gesucht, die ihn mit etwas Hundeerfahrung und Verständnis so nehmen, wie er ist und ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause auf Lebenszeit schenken.

About Harvey

What life with Harvey looks like

Harvey is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzzentrum Ribbesbüttel 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 Harvey, answered.

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