Adopter Henry
Mand · Voksen · 4 år
Vi har navngivet ham Errikos (Henry), fordi han minder os om en adelsmand, måske en riddere, eller i hvert fald en vigtig mand fra en anden tid. Hans lange sorte ører ser ud som om de bærer en af dem puderde hætter, som aristerne engang bar, og hans pels falder over hans krop som en dyrt kostymet frakke, let og flydende, omfavnende den, der bærer den. Der var en periode, hvor han måtte bære et Elizabethsk kole, og ligningen blev næsten teatralisk. Ved at sidde i sit småhus og se på os fra afstand, så han ud til at kaste et svagt blik ned ad næsen, med et hint om snobberi, som om han var overbevist om, at han ikke blev født blandt os, men bestemt til høje embeder. Skojskyld, er Errikos en af de hunde, der har ualmindelig udtrykskraft. Du behøver bare at se ham stå stille, og du kan bygge hele historier om ham. Bag denne tilstedeværelse ligger dog en kedelig fortid. Han boede i kommunens dyrerescue i Tripoli, hvor han blev reduceret til en knogle fra sult. Vi tog ham til vores skjold, og over tid genopdagede han og nåede endelig et sund vægt. Han er sandt smuk, meget venlig, lidt usikker og bange. Som jagt hund er det sandsynligt, at han aldrig fik en god socialisering. Alligevel viser han tydelig vilje til at lære og eksperimentere. Når han går i naturen, uanset hvor usikker han måtte føle sig, gør han det, han ved bedst: han følger lugter, næse mod jorden, konstant eksperimenterende. Det holder ham i balance og hjælper ham med at opbygge tillid. I byen er han mere forsigtig og nemt skræmt, men samarbejdsvillig. Selv når han er usikker, hvis du tilbyder ham lidt mad og tålmodighed, vil han reagere. Idealiseret set leder Errikos efter en person med rutine og tålmodighed, nogen, der måske bor i et roligt område med få overvældende stimulerende ting. Det ville være fantastisk, hvis den person også elsker at gå på naturstier, så meget som Errikos gør. Når han kommer ud i byen er han usikker og bange, men samarbejdsvillig, og selvom han er bange, hvis du har mad til at overtale ham, vil han gerne spise det...

We named him Errikos (Henry) because he reminds us of a nobleman, perhaps a knight, or in any case an important man from another era. His long black ears look as if he is wearing one of those powdered wigs aristocrats once wore, and his coat falls over his body like an expensive velvet overcoat, light and fluid, embracing the one who wears it. There was a period when he had to wear an Elizabethan collar and the resemblance became almost theatrical. Sitting in his little house, looking at us from a distance, he seemed to gaze ever so slightly down his nose, with a hint of snobbishness, as if convinced he was not born to be among us but destined for high office. Jokes aside, Errikos is one of those dogs with extraordinary expressiveness. You only have to watch him standing still and you can build entire stories around him. Behind that presence, though, there is a sad past. He lived in the municipal shelter of Tripoli, where he was reduced to a skeleton from starvation. We brought him to our sanctuary, and over time he slowly recovered and finally reached a healthy weight. He is truly beautiful, very gentle, a little hesitant and fearful. As a hunting dog, it is likely he was never properly socialized. Still, he shows a clear willingness to learn and to explore. When he walks in nature, no matter how unsure he may feel, he does what he knows best: he follows scents, nose to the ground, constantly exploring. It grounds him and helps him build confidence. In the city he is more cautious and easily frightened, yet cooperative. Even when he is unsure, if you offer him a bit of food and patience, he will respond. Ideally, Errikos is looking for a person with routine and patience, someone who perhaps lives in a quiet neighborhood with few overwhelming stimuli. It would be wonderful if that person also loves walks in nature as much as Errikos does. When he goes out into town he is hesitant and fearful, yet cooperative, and as much as he is afraid, if you have food to cajole him he will gladly eat it.
