ORION

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Orion is 1 yr old old and is a very handsome medium sized Crossbreed looking for a person to do life with! Despite a terrible start to life, he adores people and is incredibly resilient. He’s very affectionate, playful (loves his toys!), snuggly and just a lovely pup to be around. He was rescued from a terrible living environment and near starvation and has thankfully made a great recovery and is in great health and is now up to a healthy weight (18kg). Orion can be introduced to dogs, and could live with a large breed female dog, but has become reactive to unknown dogs on lead. He LOVES travelling in the car! He can get upset if he is crated and left alone otherwise though, and thinks he’s missing out on fun (FOMO!) so this will need work and he is not suitable to be left for long periods currently, but we do not believe this to be true seperation anxiety and that once in a good routine he will be able to be left as he does settle after his initial frustration. He desperately needs to

About ORION

What life with ORION looks like

ORION is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Helping Yorkshire Poundies in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 ORION, answered.

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