Lu

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

June 2022 | Growing | Rhodos Shelter Our Lu! What a soulful dog. If she were to be described in three words: Empathetic, sensitive and loving. We have rarely seen a female dog who approaches other dogs and people with such love. She was given up at the shelter as a puppy together with her two brothers Lio and Rio. Dimitra could not leave her and took her to our shelter. Lu holds the pack together. When a new member comes to our station, she immediately accepts him or her and tries to make everyone feel comfortable. She gives the other dogs a pleasant sense of security. On the other hand, she also loves running and playing with the others. She is simply an incredible intelligent female dog. She would surely love going to dog school. If you appreciate her and know how to deal with her great nature, you will get a faithful companion for life. PAW HEROES e.V. Email: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

*Juni 2022 | Im Wachstum | Auffangstation Rhodos Unsere Lu! Was für eine Seele von Hund. Wenn man sie mit drei Worten beschreiben würde: Emphatisch, sensibel und liebevoll. Wir haben selten eine Hündin gesehen, die mit so viel Liebe auf andere Hunden und Menschen zugeht. Sie wurde zusammen mit ihren beiden Brüdern Lio und Rio als Welpen im Tierheim abgegeben. Hier konnte Dimitra sie nicht lassen und nahm sie mit auf unsere Auffangstation. Lu hält das Rudel zusammen. Kommt ein neues Mitglied auf unsere Station, nimmt sie ihn oder sie sofort auf und versucht, dass sich alle wohlfühlen. Sie vermittelt den anderen Hunden eine angenehme Sicherheit. Auf der anderen Seite liebt sie es genauso mit den anderen zu rennen und zu spielen. Sie ist einfach eine unfassbar intelligente Hündin. Sie würde es sicherlich lieben in die Hundeschule zu gehen. Weiß man sie zu schätzen und mit ihrer tollen Art umzugehen, wird man eine treue Begleiterin für das ganze Leben bekommen. PAW HEROES e.V. E-Mail: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

About Lu

What life with Lu looks like

Lu is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

An 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 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 Lu, answered.

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