Lua

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Lua was born on the streets of Romania and, together with her mother and siblings, was taken in by our team. She now lives in a foster home in Romania. Lua is friendly by nature, but she is still somewhat cautious when first meeting (unfamiliar) people. With a little patience, however, she warms up quickly and allows closeness. Lua has been open and sociable with other dogs from the very beginning. She gets along well with fellow dogs and moves confidently within a group of dogs. She also knows cats from her foster home, and that contact went without any problems. Since Lua has so far known only life in Romania, she still needs to learn many everyday things in Germany – including house-training, walking on the leash, orienting herself to people, and being left alone. With patient guidance, clear structure, and loving companionship, she will be able to learn these things step by step. We are certain that with the right support she can become a wonderful companion. For Lua we are looking for a home with people who enjoy lovingly but consistently guiding a young dog, giving it security and direction, and growing together with it. After a positive pre-adoption check, Lua may travel to her new home vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, for a protection fee of 495 euros.

DE·Show original

Lua wurde auf den Straßen Rumäniens geboren und gemeinsam mit ihrer Mutter und ihren Geschwistern von unserem Team aufgenommen. Inzwischen lebt sie auf einer Pflegestelle in Rumänien. Lua zeigt sich grundsätzlich freundlich, ist im ersten Kontakt mit (fremden) Menschen jedoch noch etwas vorsichtig. Mit ein wenig Geduld taut sie aber schnell auf und lässt Nähe zu. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden zeigte sich Lua von Anfang an offen und sozial. Sie kommt gut mit Artgenossen zurecht und bewegt sich sicher innerhalb der Hundegruppe. Von der Pflegestelle kennt sie außerdem Katzen, der Kontakt verlief problemlos. Da Lua bislang ausschließlich das Leben in Rumänien kennt, muss sie viele Dinge des Alltags in Deutschland noch kennenlernen – dazu gehören unter anderem Stubenreinheit, das Laufen an der Leine, Orientierung am Menschen sowie das Alleinbleiben. Mit geduldiger Anleitung, klaren Strukturen und liebevoller Begleitung wird sie diese Dinge Schritt für Schritt lernen können. Wir sind sicher, dass sie mit der richtigen Unterstützung eine tolle Begleiterin werden kann. Für Lua suchen wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude daran haben, einen jungen Hund liebevoll, aber konsequent zu begleiten, ihm Sicherheit und Orientierung zu geben und gemeinsam mit ihm zu wachsen. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Lua gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro geimpft, entwurmt, gechippt und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause reisen.

About Lua

What life with Lua looks like

Lua is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lua, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lua?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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 — Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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.
