Adopt Laukas

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Laukas has been at the shelter for 8 months, all because of a severe leg injury from childhood. It's very sad, but we found out about Laukas too late, the trauma was very old and we couldn't save his legs... But believe us, Laukas is definitely not sad about it. It seems that he never even realized what it means to live with four legs, so he has adapted perfectly. He runs like a tornado on all three of his paws and even other dogs can't keep up. He is very active, playful, energetic, smart, and we can't reveal all his potential... About 1 year old. Vaccinated, microchipped, neutered. He gladly participates in various events with us, feels confident with strangers, and quickly adapts to new environments. He travels well in the car in a special crate. He isn't afraid of city noise and crowds. At the shelter, he lives in a crate that is impeccably clean and does his business outside. Of course, he is still very young, full of energy and the desire to try everything. At the same time, he will test the patience of his owner. Without training, there is no way with this young man. Now about his health: Laukas had his front leg amputated, so all his weight is on one. Now he doesn't feel any discomfort, runs and plays with others, just like any other healthy dog. However, it's unknown what will happen in the future. We cannot guarantee that as he ages he won't need additional support (wheels, prosthesis). It may never be needed, but it's important to be prepared. Also, proper nutrition is very important for him, because he simply can't gain weight. Laukas has already spent his entire childhood at the shelter and really doesn't want to spend all his youth here... We are desperately looking for kind-hearted people who will love Laukas just as he is.

Laukas jau 8 mėnesius leidžia prieglaudoje, o viskas tik dėl vaikystėje patirtos sunkios kojytės traumos. Labai gaila, bet apie Lauką mes sužinojome per vėlai, trauma buvo labai sena ir kojos išsaugoti nepavyko… Bet patikėkite mumis, Laukas dėl to tikrai neliūdi. Panašu, kad jis ir nespėjo pajausti, ką reiškia gyventi su keturiomis kojomis, todėl yra puikiai prisitaikęs. Jis skuodžia kaip tornadas ant visų 3 savo letenų ir nepasiveja net kiti šunys . Jis labai aktyvus, šoklus, energingas, protingas ir prieglaudoje negalime atskleisti viso jo potencialo… Apie 1 metų. Skiepytas, ženklintas, kastruotas. Mielai dalyvauja su mumis įvairiuose renginiuose, drąsiai jaučiasi su svetimais žmonėmis ir greitai apsipranta prie naujos aplinkos. Automobilyje puikiai keliauja specialiame narvelyje. Nebijo miesto šurmulio ir triukšmo. Prieglaudoje gyvena narvelyje, kuriame yra pavyzdingai tvarkingas ir reikalus atlieka lauke. Žinoma jis dar labai jaunas, pilnas energijos ir noro viską išbandyti. Tuo pačiu išbandys ir šeimininku kantrybę . Be dresūros su šiuo jaunuoliu tikrai niekaip. O dabar apie sveikatą: Laukui amputuota priekinė koja, tad visas jo svoris tenka vienai. Dabar jis nejaučia dėl to jokio diskomforto, lekia ir žaidžia su kitais, kaip bet kuris kitas sveikas šuo. Tačiau kaip bus toliau niekas negali atsakyti. Negalime garantuoti , kad senstant jam nereikės papildomos atramos (ratukai, protezas). Gal ir niekada neprireiks, bet reikia būti pasiruošus . Taip pat jam labai svarbu tinkama mityba, nes priaugti svorio jam tiesiog negalima. Laukas prieglaudoje jau praleido visą savo vaikystę ir labai nenori čia praleisti ir visos jaunystės… Labai ieškome didelės širdies Žmonių, kurie pamils Lauką tokį, koks jis yra .

About Laukas

What life with Laukas looks like

Laukas is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Gyvūnai in Šalčininkų r. sav..

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇱🇹Adopting from Lithuania

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Laukas, answered.

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