LOU & LENI

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Lou & Leni – an inseparable pair - Lou (beige): born approx. Dec 2022, SH approx. 30 cm; Leni (brown with dark brindle mask): born approx. Oct 2025, SH approx. 25 cm (as of May 3, 2026). Both spayed, vaccinated, chipped, tested for babesiosis, borreliosis, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis prior to departure - Waiting in Romania - Lou & Leni are mother and daughter who lived with people in a house in Romania, protecting it with loud barking. When one of our animal rescuers drove to this neighborhood inhabited by the poor to search for the people who had abandoned puppies in a tied-up sack a few days earlier, she found them, but returned home with Lou. Their owners wanted to get rid of them because they kept having puppies. What a miracle for an unspayed female … Lou, who had barked loudly at our rescuer's house, was transformed when she was in their care: absolutely friendly, affectionate, and playful. When she sees her rescuer, she comes to her joyfully and greets her enthusiastically. Three days later, the owners also gave Leni to our rescuer, as Leni is also a female who would soon have puppies … It was a stroke of luck for Leni and a great reunion between mother and daughter. Leni is initially reserved with strangers and needs some time to build trust. But once the ice is broken, she is as affectionate and playful as Mama Lou. She follows Leni everywhere and learns everything from her. Therefore, it didn't take long for Leni to trust her rescuer. She just had to watch Mama Lou … Leni tries to avoid men. It takes a bit more patience. But Leni has no problems with the son of the foster mother, a schoolchild. Both get along wonderfully with other puppies and small dogs and like to play with them. The cat of the house is also accepted. Since Lou & Leni are a well-coordinated team and Mama Lou gives Leni security, we are looking for a shared home for this sweet pair with loving and patient people. Also a foster home is welcome. Lou & Leni are still in Romania. Cost contribution

LOU & LENI – ein unzertrennliches Paar - Lou (beige): geb. ca. 12/2022, SH ca. 30 cm; Leni (braun mit dunkel gestromter Maske): geb. ca. 10/2025, SH ca. 25 cm (Stand: 03.05.2026). Beide bei Ausreise kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, vor Ausreise Test auf Babesiose, Borreliose, Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose, Dirofilarien u. Leishmaniose - Warten noch in Rumänien - Lou & Leni sind Mutter und Tochter, die in Rumänien bei Menschen am Haus lebten, um dieses durch lautes Gebell zu beschützen. Als eine unserer Tierretterinnen in dieses von Armen bewohnte Viertel fuhr, um nach den Menschen zu suchen, die Tage zuvor Welpen in einem verschnürten Sack ausgesetzt hatten, fand sie diese nicht, fuhr aber mit Lou im Gepäck wieder nach Hause. Deren Besitzer wollten sie loswerden, da sie immer wieder Welpen gebar. Welch ein Wunder bei einer unkastrierten Hündin … Lou, die am Haus unsere Tierretterin noch stark verbellt hatte, war wie ausgewechselt, als sie in deren Obhut war: absolut freundlich, anhänglich und verschmust. Sieht sie ihre Lebensretterin, kommt sie sofort freudig auf sie zu und begrüßt sie überschwänglich. Drei Tage später gaben die Besitzer auch noch Leni bei unserer Tierretterin ab, schließlich ist Leni auch eine Hündin, die bald für Nachwuchs sorgen würde … Für Leni war es ein Glücksfall und eine große Wiedersehensfreude zwischen Mutter und Tochter. Leni ist bei Fremden zunächst zurückhaltend und braucht etwas Zeit, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Ist aber das Eis gebrochen, ist sie so anhänglich und verschmust wie Mama Lou. Ihr folgt Leni überallhin und schaut sich alles von ihr ab. Daher dauerte es auch gar nicht lange, bis Leni ihrer Lebensretterin vertraute. Sie musste nur Mama Lou beobachten … Männer versucht Leni zu meiden. Da braucht es wohl etwas mehr Geduld. Mit dem Sohn der Pflegemama, einem Schulkind, hat Leni aber keine Probleme. Mit den anderen Welpen und kleinen Hunden kommen beide wunderbar zurecht und spielen gern mit allen. Auch der Kater des Hauses wird akzeptiert. Da Lou & Leni ein eingespieltes Team sind und Mama Lou Leni Sicherheit gibt, suchen wir für dieses süße Pärchen ein gemeinsames Zuhause bei liebevollen und geduldigen Menschen. Gern auch eine solche Pflegestelle. Lou & Leni befinden sich noch in Rumänien. Unkostenbeitrag bei

About LOU & LENI

What life with LOU & LENI looks like

LOU & LENI is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tier-Not-Hilfe in Germany.

An young 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 LOU & LENI, answered.

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