HENRY

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

HENRY is a beautiful shepherd dog and very good-natured despite a lot of bad luck. He was rescued with a severely damaged hind leg that was completely raw. We don't know how he ended up in such a state, but poor Henry couldn't take it anymore. After several surgeries, he healed quite well (considering how bad he arrived) and now he can walk and run. He still has a bit of a limp, but he's happy just the same! He was adopted a few years ago but was returned recently because his "family" was moving abroad. Now his foster care is ending, and he'll be returning to the shelter, where the cold of a cage won't be good for his leg or his age. Can you help us find him a forever home?

HENRY es un pastor precioso y muy bueno con mucha mala suerte. Fue rescatado con una pata trasera destrozada y totalmente en carne viva. No sabemos cómo llegó a ese estado pero el pobre Henry no podía más. Después de varias cirugías, curó bastante bien (para lo mal que llegó) y camina y corre. Le ha quedado algo de cogera pero él es feliz igualmente! Fue adoptado hace años pero devuelto hace unos meses ya que su "família" se iba del país. Ahora su acogida se acaba y volverá a la residencia, el frío de una jaula no le va a ir nada bien a su pata ni a su edad. Nos ayudas a encontrarle una família para siempre?

About HENRY

What life with HENRY looks like

HENRY is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Adopta un Amic in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting HENRY, answered.

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