Harry

*DUE TO OVERWHELMING INTEREST IN HARRY, APPLICATIONS FOR HIS ADOPTION HAVE NOW CLOSED.

Harry (formerly known as Trump) is a dog whose story touched hearts everywhere. After being left alone for months on a balcony in filthy, lonely conditions with minimal human contact, Harry came into care frightened, confused, and unsure how to be a dog. Despite his rough start, Harry has shown he's full of love, energy, and potential, and now he's looking for the special person or family who can help him continue his journey toward a happy, secure life.

Harry is a bouncy, energetic boy who loves to chase a ball, play with soft toys, and soak up human attention when he feels comfortable. He's not particularly food motivated, but his enthusiasm for play and people shines through once he feels safe. His early neglect, however, has left its mark. Harry finds it hard to settle at times - he paces, and he may urine-mark (indoors and outdoors) when anxious. These behaviours are his way of coping with stress, and they will take time, patience, and consistent guidance to improve.

He has already made promising progress in foster care, where he has learned that life can be fun and people can be kind. His foster carer has seen improvements in his ability to settle, and we believe with the right support, he will continue to grow and thrive.

Harry is dog-friendly (best matched with another exuberant, well-matched dog), and he has lived successfully in foster care with both cats and children - he has met and played with lots of dogs and even met an alpaca! He could happily live in a home with another dog, with cats, and with children over the age of 5 who can respect his space when he needs it and are also not easily knocked over when Harry goes into zoomie-mode.

It's important to understand that adopting Harry is a lifelong commitment to a dog who did not get the best start in life. He will need ongoing behavioural rehabilitation, and his new family must be prepared for the challenges - and the rewards - of helping him heal. He may never be a "perfect" dog in the traditional sense, but he is incredibly special and deserves a home that sees his potential and is willing to work with him every step of the way.

The Lost Dogs' Home is here to support you throughout this journey. Harry's adoption fee includes mandatory, ongoing behaviour training sessions and a consultation with our Behaviour Vet, ensuring you have professional guidance and a clear plan to help Harry adjust and succeed in his new home.

If you have the patience, compassion, and commitment to help a resilient dog who still has so much love to give, Harry could be the one for you.
