How do I contact the shelter about Lewis?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helfende Hände e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lewis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lewis if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Helfende Hände 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 Lewis 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 Lewis 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 Helfende Hände e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lewis 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.

Lewis

Border Collie · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Lewis ID No.: 1058889 Breed: Border Collie Age: approx. 06/2026 Gender: Male Shoulder Height: Still growing Neutered/Spayed: No Location: Marbella (Spain) Application Form Lewis – Sweet Border Collie Puppy Seeks His Forever Home Little Lewis (*approx. 06/2026, still growing) was found together with his brother Enzo and his sister by the roadside in Marbella, Spain. The three puppies were trying to climb up a slope when they were fortunately spotted and brought to safety in time by a partner animal welfare organization associated with our shelter, Triple A. His mother lives with a shepherd; the father is unknown. Based on his development and the size of his paws, we currently estimate that Lewis will grow into one of the larger medium-sized dogs. Of course, there’s no guarantee of this. Lewis is one of two male puppies from the litter and is developing into a cheerful, open-minded puppy. Like all dogs his age, he’s playful, curious, and full of enthusiasm for discovery. He wants to explore the world and is looking for people who will lovingly accompany him, provide him with security, and patiently teach him the basics of dog life step by step. Since Lewis is a Border Collie—and thus a herding dog—he brings with him the typical characteristics of an active working breed. That’s why we’re looking for a home with plenty of space and people who enjoy keeping him physically and mentally stimulated. A life in a small city apartment is definitely not suitable for him. Ideally, Lewis would find a home on a farm or with very active people who, for example, practice dog sports and already have experience with herding or other working breeds. Lewis is vaccinated, microchipped, and has an EU pet passport upon departure. In addition, he’ll be dewormed and flea-treated according to his age. Our puppies are only placed in homes with a mandatory neutering clause. Vaccinations: Yes Mediterranean Check: No Microchip: Yes Diseases: None known Adoption Fee: €500 including transport Contact Person: Annika Beger Tel: Email: Application Form

LewisRESERVIERT ID-Nr: 1058889 Rasse: Border Collie Alter: ca. 06/2026 Geschlecht: männlich Schulterhöhe: noch im Wachstum Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Nein Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Lewis – süßer Border-Collie-Welpe sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause Der kleine Lewis (* ca. 06/2026, noch im Wachstum) wurde gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Enzo und seiner Schwester am Straßenrand in Marbella, Spanien, gefunden. Die drei Welpen versuchten, einen Hang hinaufzuklettern, als sie glücklicherweise entdeckt und rechtzeitig zu einer Partner-Tierschutzorganisation unseres Tierheims Triple A in Sicherheit gebracht wurden. Seine Mutter lebt bei einem Schäfer, der Vater ist unbekannt. Aufgrund seiner Entwicklung und der Größe seiner Pfoten gehen wir derzeit davon aus, dass Lewis ausgewachsen eher zu den größeren mittelgroßen Hunden gehören wird. Eine Garantie dafür gibt es natürlich nicht. Lewis ist einer von zwei Rüden des Wurfs und entwickelt sich zu einem fröhlichen, aufgeschlossenen Welpen. Wie alle Hunde in seinem Alter ist er verspielt, neugierig und voller Entdeckerfreude. Er möchte die Welt kennenlernen und wünscht sich Menschen, die ihn liebevoll begleiten, ihm Sicherheit geben und ihm mit Geduld Schritt für Schritt das Hunde-Einmaleins beibringen. Da Lewis ein Border-Collie und somit ein Hütehund ist, bringt er die typischen Eigenschaften einer aktiven Arbeitsrasse mit. Deshalb suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause mit ausreichend Platz und Menschen, die Freude daran haben, ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig auszulasten. Ein Leben in einer kleinen Stadtwohnung kommt für ihn nicht infrage. Idealerweise findet Lewis ein Zuhause auf einem Hof oder bei sehr aktiven Menschen, die beispielsweise Hundesport betreiben und bereits Erfahrung mit Hüte- oder anderen Arbeitsrassen haben. Lewis ist bei Ausreise geimpft, gechipt und besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Außerdem wird er altersentsprechend entwurmt und entfloht. Unsere Welpen werden ausschließlich mit Kastrationsauflage vermittelt. Impfungen Ja Mittelmeercheck Nein Microchip Ja Krankheiten Keine bekannt Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl.

About Lewis

What life with Lewis looks like

Lewis is a medium-sized puppy/kitten border collie dog waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

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.
