Sir Henry

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

04/2025 Sir Henry, born approx. 11/2021, neutered, approx. 60 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 2022 Sir Henry has been through quite a lot. He came to us at the animal shelter at the start of the war as one of the Ukrainian dogs in need. Several years have now passed in which he waited patiently, without any chance of getting a home of his own. But at the beginning of October, the little miracle happened: Sir Henry and his buddies were finally able to move out of their dreary concrete kennel into a generous 300-square-meter area of grass and concrete. And what a transformation! The once resigned and withdrawn Sir Henry has become a cheerful, people-oriented young dog who has rediscovered his joie de vivre. His eyes shine, his tail wags with joy – he enjoys every moment to the fullest and shows himself at his very best. Now the time has come for Sir Henry to finally get the second chance he so deeply deserves. He is currently in Romania and can travel once he has found a home. He travels microchipped and vaccinated (EU pet passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal and external parasites upon arrival at the shelter and then at least once a year thereafter. The behavioral observations described are based on daily life at the shelter and may appear different in a home environment under changed living conditions. Transport (registered with TRACES) is organized and carried out by us, as far as it is legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

04/2025 Sir Henry, geboren ca. 11/2021, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2022 Sir Henry hat schon so einiges hinter sich. Als einer der ukrainischen Hunde in Not kam er zu Kriegsbeginn zu uns ins Tierheim. Nun sind mehrere Jahre vergangen, in denen er geduldig gewartet hat ohne eine Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause zu bekommen. Doch Anfang Oktober passierte das kleine Wunder: Sir Henry und seine Kumpane durften aus ihrem tristen Betonkennel endlich auf ein großzügiges 300 Quadratmeter Areal aus Gras und Beton ziehen. Und was für eine Verwandlung! Aus dem einst resignierten und zurückgezogenen Sir Henry wurde ein fröhlicher, menschenbezogener junger Hund, der seine Lebensfreude wiederentdeckt hat. Seine Augen strahlen, sein Schwanz wedelt vor Freude – er genießt jeden Moment in vollen Zügen und zeigt sich von seiner allerbesten Seite. Jetzt ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen, an dem Sir Henry endlich die zweite Chance bekommen soll, die er so sehr verdient. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Sir Henry

What life with Sir Henry looks like

Sir Henry is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sir Henry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sir Henry?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sir Henry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sir Henry if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sir 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 Sir 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sir 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.
