How do I contact the shelter about Lua?

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 Lua on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lua 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 Lua 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 Lua 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 Lua 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.

Lua

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Lua ID No.: 1027936 Breed: Mastin Espanol mixed breed Age: approx. 03/2022 Gender: female Shoulder height: approx. 75 cm Neutered/Spayed: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form Gentle giant paw seeks loving humans: Lua Lua (*approx. 03/2022, approx. 75 cm) is a noble, calm, and friendly female dog – a typical representative of the Spanish Mastín, full of dignity and impressive presence. She currently lives harmoniously with several dogs of different breeds and age groups and shows herself to be sociable and relaxed in interactions with fellow animals. On walks, Lua walks calmly on the leash and observes her surroundings with quiet attentiveness. She is initially somewhat reserved toward strangers, but with patience, a secure environment, and clear communication, she begins to build trust and actively seeks affection. Lua was originally adopted as a puppy but was returned because her people felt overwhelmed by her breed-specific behavior—particularly regarding food and boundaries. Since her return, she has shown significant progress under a structured daily routine and clear leadership. She is eager to learn, adaptable, and noticeably blossoms when she feels safe. We would like to point out that the Mastín Español is unfortunately listed as a potentially dangerous breed in certain German federal states, which typically requires a behavioral assessment to be exempted from the muzzle requirement. If you are interested, please check with your local authorities regarding the regulations in your area. The affected federal states are: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hamburg, and North Rhine-Westphalia. We are looking for an experienced home for Lua, preferably one familiar with livestock guardian dogs; ideally a house with a securely fenced yard in a rural setting. Her people should be able to provide clear, consistent leadership that is simultaneously respectful and loving. A calm fellow animal could possibly be present in her new home. Lua is not suitable for city life or first-time dog owners—she needs humans with both heart and understanding who will accept her just as she is: calm, independent, sensitive, and strong all at once. Anyone who opens their heart to her will gain a loyal soul with great character. Would you like to give Lua a loving and suitable home? Then get in touch with us! Lua is dewormed, treated for fleas, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and holds an EU pet passport. Additionally, she will be tested for Mediterranean diseases. Vaccinations: Yes Mediterranean disease check: No Microchip: Yes Known illnesses: None Muzzle requirement: Yes, depending on the federal state, including transport Contact person: Ruth Bachhausen Tel: Email:

Lua ID-Nr: 1053527 Rasse: Mastin Mischling Alter: ca. 03/2022 Geschlecht: weiblich Schulterhöhe: ca. 75 cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Lua – Sanfte Riesenpfote sucht Herzensmenschen Lua (geb. ca. 03/2022, ca. 75 cm) ist eine edle, ruhige und freundliche Hündin. Eine typische Vertreterin des spanischen Mastins mit viel Würde und einer beeindruckenden Ausstrahlung. Sie lebt aktuell in unserem spanischen Tierheim Triple A in Marbella mit mehreren Hunden unterschiedlicher Rassen und Altersgruppen harmonisch zusammen und zeigt sich sozialverträglich und entspannt im Umgang mit Artgenossen. Beim Spazierengehen läuft Lua gelassen an der Leine und begegnet ihrer Umgebung mit ruhiger Aufmerksamkeit. Fremden Menschen gegenüber ist sie zunächst etwas zurückhaltend, doch mit Geduld, einem sicheren Umfeld und klarer Kommunikation beginnt sie, Vertrauen aufzubauen und aktiv Zuwendung zu suchen. Lua wurde ursprünglich als Welpe adoptiert, kam jedoch zurück, da ihre Menschen mit ihrem rassebedingten Verhalten, insbesondere beim Thema Futter und Grenzen, überfordert waren. Seit ihrer Rückkehr zeigt sie unter einem strukturierten Tagesablauf und klarer Führung große Fortschritte. Sie ist lernfähig, anpassungsbereit und blüht spürbar auf, wenn sie sich sicher fühlt. Wir machen darauf aufmerksam, dass der Mastin Español leider in einigen Bundesländern als potenziell gefährliche Rasse auf der Liste steht, was in der Regel mit einem Wesenstest verbunden ist, um von der Maulkorbpflicht befreit zu werden. Bitte informiere dich bei Interesse bei dem Ordnungsamt nach den lokalen Regeln. Es handelt sich um folgende Bundesländer: Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Brandenburg, Hamburg und Nordrhein-Westfalen. Lua ist geimpft, gechipt und kastriert. Sie besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis und wird vor der Ausreise auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet, sowie entwurmt und entfloht. Impfungen Ja Microchip Ja Krankheiten Keine bekannt Handicap nein Anlagehund Ja, abhängig vom Bundesland Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl.

About Lua

What life with Lua looks like

Lua is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed 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.
