Adopt Perry

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Perry can already be called a bit of a unlucky bird, having lost his home several times - most recently because his owner passed away, and now because his current caretakers can no longer look after him due to health reasons. Despite having had quite a bit of bad luck, Perry is simply a wonderful dog. Perry loves people, wants to please, and is always eager to do things right. If there are some treats in the pocket, he is highly focused on one and ready to work - at least as long as no squirrels or female dogs are nearby. Our handsome fellow still counts chasing and dealing with the girls as part of his passion. It then becomes extremely difficult for him to stay on task when we want to work with him. Whether Perry is sociable or not still needs to be tested. For now, we assume it would be better to place him as a single dog. Additionally, there should be no small children in the household. For our handsome fellow, we are looking for young, dog-experienced people who are eager to help develop his potential and turn our unlucky bird into a true lucky charm.

Perry kann man schon als kleinen Pechvogel bezeichnen, da er bereits mehrmals sein Zuhause verloren hat - zuletzt einmal, weil sein Herrchen verstorben ist und nun, weil seine Halter sich gesundheitsbedingt nicht mehr um ihn kümmern konnten. Dafür, dass er aber einiges an Pech hatte, ist er einfach ein toller Hund. Perry liebt Menschen, möchte gefallen und unbedingt alles richtig machen. Hat man dann noch Leckerli in der Tasche, ist er hochkonzentriert bei einem und bereit zu arbeiten - zumindest so lange keine Eichhörnchen oder Hündinnen in der Nähe sind. Jagen und Mädels klarmachen zählt unser Prachtkerl noch zu seiner Passion. Hier fällt es ihm dann extrem schwer, bei der Sache zu bleiben, wenn man mit ihm arbeiten möchte. Ob Perry sozialverträglich ist, muss noch getestet werden. Im Moment gehen wir davon aus, dass wir ihn lieber als Einzelhund vermitteln. Ebenso sollten keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt wohnen. Für unseren Prachtkerl suchen wir junge, hundeerfahrene Leute, die Lust haben sein Potential weiter auszubauen und aus unserem Pechvogel einen wahren Glückspilz zu machen. Bei Interesse schicken Sie uns gern ein paar Infos zu Ihrer Person sowie Ihre Telefonnummer per Mail an

About Perry

What life with Perry looks like

Perry is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhelfer Ingelheim e. V. in Germany.

An 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 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 Perry, answered.

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