Adopt Henry

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

We are looking for a loving forever home for Henry, as a single dog. We rescued Henry ourselves yesterday afternoon from a bad animal household. We have cats and two female dogs. Henry looks at the cats but otherwise ignores them. And played nicely with our female dogs. Difficulty: Food jealousy. Our food/toys are available for all animals around the clock. Treats are shared and also played with. Henry unfortunately does not know this at all! Therefore, we are looking for a "forever" home where Henry can be an only pet, the "little child" that can be cuddled. There should also be no small children in the house, although the previous owners had a baby, where Henry is said to have done nothing but show curiosity. Will turn 3 years old in April, according to the previous owner - probably: German Shepherd/Labrador mix (it is already a big dog) - not neutered (but this could be done, we would have done it anyway if it had worked out with us) - no vaccination record available, probably only basic vaccinated - should be microchipped but not registered anywhere (not yet checked if it is correct) - still needs training but especially trust. We do not charge any fees, we just want it to be well and not have to go to an animal shelter. Only genuine inquiries please! Call, first meeting, the dog is simply a must.

Wir suchen auf diesem Weg ein liebevolles FÜR IMMER zu Hause, als Einzelhund. Wir haben Henry selber erst gestern Nachmittag, aus einem nicht gutem Tierhaushalt gerettet. Wir haben selber noch Katzen und 2 Hündeninnen. Die Katzen schaut Henry sich mal an aber ignoriert sie ansonsten. Und hat mit unseren Hündeninnen auch schön gespielt. Schwierigkeit: Futterneid Unser Futter/Spielzeug steht für alle Tiere rund um die Uhr zur Verfügung. Leckerlies werden geteilt und auch mit gespielt. Das kennt Henry leider alles gar nicht! Deswegen suchen wir ein „FÜR IMMER“ zu Hause, wo Henry ein Einzeltier sein darf, das „kleine Kind“ was betüddelt werden kann. Es sollten auch keine Kleinkinder im Haus sein, obwohl die Vorbesitzer ein Baby hatten, wo Henry aber bis auf neugier nichts gemacht haben soll. – wird im April 3 Jahre alt, laut Aussage des Vorbesitzers – vermutlich: Schäferhund/Laprador Mischling (Ist schon ein großer Hund) – unkastriert (könnte man aber machen lassen, hätten wir eh gemacht, wenn es bei uns geklappt hätte) – Impfpass nicht vorhanden, vermutlich nur Grundimmonisiert – soll gechippt sein aber niergends regestriert (noch nicht geschaut, ob es stimmt) – braucht noch eine Erziehung aber vorallem Vertrauen Wir heben keinerlei Gebühr, wir wollen einfach nur das es ihm gut geht und er nicht in ein Tierheim muss. Nur erstgemeinte Anfragen bitte! Telefonieren, erstes Kennenlernen, auch der Hund ist einfach ein muss.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Tierheim Northeim 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 — Tierheim Northeim 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 Tierheim Northeim 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 (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.
