Hollywood

Pointer · Male · Adult · 7 years

Hollywood is a circa 6 years old pointer who was found as a stray on the streets of Nafpaktos, Greece, in 2024. He was taken by a kind lady and he currently resides in a shelter. We weighs just over 30kgs and we asked the shelter to reduce his food because he is overweight. His new family will need to make sure he gets plenty of exercise and the appropriate amount of food each day. Hollywood is generally healthy with only some small scars on his face. Fully vet checked, microchipped and with negative blood tests for Mediterranean diseases. Hollywood is friendly, gentle and calm. He doesn’t show signs of aggression with a limited hunting instinct. He gets on well with children, cats and dogs. He walks well on the leash. He has never been in a house so he will need to be toilet trained. Hollywood is ready to travel very soon…just waiting for his new family! Published 11/08/2025

About Hollywood

What life with Hollywood looks like

Hollywood is a small adult pointer dog waiting at Pointers in Need 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 Hollywood, answered.

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