Hera

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Please meet adorable, cuddly Hera who is looking for her best forever home. She has waited for so long in a shelter in Bosnia for her chance of a loving home and now she's settled in a foster home in Malvern Worcestershire, provided by Nirina Dog Adoptions patiently waiting for her forever family. Hera is 8 years old, weighs 18kg and is medium size. She is a friendly girl who is great with people, dogs, but not cats. She really craves affection and is looking for a home with a single female owner, where it is calm and peaceful and she can be given the time to settle in quietly and be given all of the love she needs. Despite everything, she has never lost her joy. Every time anyone approaches, she lights up instantly, her mouth wide open in that signature “Hera smile". Hera enjoys her walks and walks nicely on the lead and doesn't pull. She settles down well overnight and is house-trained. Hera is a happy dog and could happily live with another dog or as a single dog. Hera has waited for so long for the chance of a good life. She carries her years with grace, hope and that never-ending smile. Maybe, just maybe, her happy face will finally melt the heart of someone who can see she's a beautiful soul who deserves to spend her life in a home, not a shelter. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you can't resist adorable Hera and would like to give her the loving home she deserves, please contact the U.K. representative of Nirina Dog Adoptions as follows: WhatsApp, text or Email: Please mention that you saw Hera on Oldies Club website.

About Hera

What life with Hera looks like

Hera is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hera, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hera?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hera on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hera if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Hera 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 Hera 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hera 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 (EN). 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.
