Lakota

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Lakota comes from a litter that no one wanted. His mother is named Lykke, and his siblings are Tash, Greta, Silas, Fietje, and Kimba. Most of the siblings have either already been adopted or have at least a firm placement in sight. However, Lakota is still lagging behind – and that should not be his future. He should not be left alone in the shelter while all the others make the step into life. Lakota is no longer a small puppy but an approximately 6-month-old teenager, currently in the middle of his important developmental phase. With a current shoulder height of around 50 cm, he is already growing properly and symbolizes all the young dogs in Romania who must begin their lives behind bars much too early. We assume that he will reach a medium to large size later. At first, Lakota shows some shyness towards new people. He observes, stays a little distant, and needs a moment to orient himself. But with calmness and friendly conversation, he quickly warms up, becomes curious, and then seeks proximity. Once he has gained trust, he shows clingy, gentle, and very lovable behavior. Lakota has so far no life in a house. House training, leash manners, and everyday routines are what he must learn. As a young dog in the transition phase to puberty, he will question rules, test boundaries, and likely have some silly ideas in his head. With patience, loving consistency, and clear guidance, he can develop well. Positive working dog training classes can help give him security and strengthen the bond to his people. Given his background, we assume that Lakota has parts of a herding dog mix in him. Accordingly, we are looking for people who enjoy shared mental stimulation, are willing to deal with breed-typical characteristics, and can offer both mental and physical stimulation. An ideal environment for him would be a more rural setting. Lakota should not grow up in the shelter. Right now, in this sensitive age, he needs closeness, understanding, and trusted people who will accompany him through his maturation. He has more than earned not to spend his youth behind bars but to grow up protected and learn about life. Lakota can travel to his new home microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated with an EU pet passport. We would also be very happy to have a foster home for Lakota, as it would help him take the first step out of the shelter and into a normal dog life. A heartfelt thank you goes to Melle S., who gave Lakota her name and thus a personal identity. A big thank you also goes to Antonia B., who supports Lakota with a monthly paternity. As of: 06.05.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Lakota stammt aus einem Wurf, den niemand haben wollte. Seine Mutter heißt Lykke, seine Geschwister sind Tash, Greta, Silas, Fietje und Kimba. Der Großteil der Geschwister ist inzwischen entweder ausgereist oder hat zumindest eine feste Zusage in Aussicht. Lakota jedoch ist noch zurückgeblieben – und genau das soll nicht seine Zukunft sein. Er soll nicht alleine im Shelter zurückbleiben, während alle anderen den Schritt ins Leben schaffen. Lakota ist kein kleines Hundebaby mehr, sondern inzwischen ein etwa 10 Monate alter Teenager, der sich mitten in seiner wichtigen Entwicklungsphase befindet. Aktuell hat er eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 55 cm. Ein bisschen wird er wahrscheinlich noch wachsen. Anfangs zeigt sich Lakota neuen Menschen gegenüber noch ein wenig schüchtern. Er beobachtet, bleibt kurz auf Abstand und braucht einen Moment, um sich zu orientieren. Doch mit Ruhe und freundlicher Ansprache taut er schnell auf, wird neugierig und sucht dann auch Nähe. Hat er Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er sich anhänglich, sanft und sehr liebenswert. Mit Artgenossen beiden Geschlechts ist der tolle Rüde verträglich. Wie selbstverständlich kennt Lakota bislang kein Leben im Haus. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit und Alltagsroutinen muss er erst lernen. Als junger Hund in der Übergangsphase zur Pubertät wird er Regeln hinterfragen, Grenzen testen und sicher auch Blödsinn im Kopf haben. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Konsequenz und klarer Führung wird er sich jedoch gut entwickeln können. Eine positiv arbeitende Hundeschule kann dabei helfen, ihm Sicherheit zu geben und die Bindung zu seinen Menschen zu stärken. Aufgrund seiner Herkunft gehen wir davon aus, dass Lakota Anteile eines Hütehund-Mixes in sich trägt. Entsprechend wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Freude an gemeinsamer Beschäftigung haben, sich mit rassetypischen Eigenschaften auseinandersetzen und ihm sowohl geistige als auch körperliche Auslastung bieten. Ein eher ländliches Umfeld wäre für ihn ideal. Lakota soll nicht im Shelter groß werden. Gerade jetzt, in diesem sensiblen Alter, braucht er Nähe, Verständnis und feste Bezugspersonen, die ihn durchs Erwachsenwerden begleiten. Er hat es mehr als verdient, seine Jugend nicht hinter Gittern zu verbringen, sondern behütet aufzuwachsen und das Leben kennenzulernen. Lakota kann kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit EU‑Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause reisen. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würden wir uns sehr freuen, da sie Lakota helfen würde, den ersten Schritt raus aus dem Shelter und hinein in ein normales Hundeleben zu machen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön geht an Melle S., die Lakota ihren Namen und damit eine eigene Identität geschenkt hat. Ein großer Dank gilt außerdem Antonia B., die Lakota mit einer monatlichen Patenschaft unterstützt. Stand: 18.09.2026

About Lakota

What life with Lakota looks like

Lakota is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Lakota, answered.

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