Lilu

Labradoodle · Female · Adult · 6 years

Lilu's story with her current rescuers began the day she appeared at their doorstep - in a truly pitiful state (see photo, now she's freshly shorn) ... But Lilu didn't let that discourage her. For her, the gate was just a small detail, so she upped the ante: The next morning, the owners found her right in the middle of the yard! She waited there happily and completely relaxed, as if she had always belonged to the house with the most charming cheekiness in the world. Lilu is not just looking for a home... she's looking for her people. The person she can follow through life. The person she can snuggle up to and put her head on their lap. She loves humans more than treats - and that's a big declaration of love from a dog. She's happy, kind, affectionate and extremely smart. She is the type of female dog who not only listens to you but also answers you. She scolds a little, explains things to you and makes it very clear when you are late with the petting. Typical Labradoodle, she is warm-hearted, friendly, playful and always ready to make you laugh. She gets along great with other dogs and loves children. Her athletic figure (only that way could she jump into her rescuers' yard!) makes her a real jumping champion. That's why she needs a home with a secure and high fence so she can stay safe.

DE·Show original

Lilus Geschichte mit ihren jetzigen Rettern begann an dem Tag, als sie vor deren Tor auftauchte – in einem absolut erbärmlichen Zustand (siehe Foto, jetzt ist sie frisch geschoren)… Doch Lilu ließ sich nicht entmutigen. Für sie war das Tor nur ein kleines Detail, also setzte sie noch einen drauf: Am nächsten Morgen fanden die Besitzer sie direkt mitten im Hof! Sie wartete dort fröhlich und völlig entspannt, als würde sie mit der charmantesten Frechheit der Welt so tun, als gehöre sie schon immer zum Haus. Lilu sucht nicht nur ein Zuhause… sie sucht ihren Menschen. Den Menschen, dem sie durchs Leben folgen kann. Den Menschen, an den sie sich kuscheln kann und um den Kopf auf seine Knie zu legen. Sie liebt Menschen mehr als Leckerlis – und bei einem Hund ist das eine große Liebeserklärung. Sie ist fröhlich, gutherzig, anhänglich und extrem schlau. Sie ist die Art von Hündin, die dir nicht nur zuhört, sondern dir auch antwortet. Sie schimpft ein bisschen, erklärt dir Dinge und zeigt dir sehr deutlich, wenn du mit den Streicheleinheiten zu spät dran bist. Typisch Labradoodle ist sie warmherzig, freundlich, verspielt und immer bereit, dich zum Lachen zu bringen. Sie versteht sich hervorragend mit anderen Hunden und liebt Kinder. Ihre athletische Figur (nur so konnte sie überhaupt in den Hof ihrer Retter springen!) macht sie zu einer echten Sprungmeisterin. Daher braucht sie ein Zuhause mit einem sicheren und hohen Zaun, damit sie gut behütet bleibt.

About Lilu

What life with Lilu looks like

Lilu is a large adult labradoodle dog waiting at Pfotenglück Bayern in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Lilu, answered.

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