Luan

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Luan, born approximately April 2022, neutered, approximately 60 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since July 2022 Luan came to Maria as a puppy with his siblings Lia and Linus and has since grown into a handsome young dog. Unfortunately, he has developed into a timid dog and still finds people a bit frightening because he simply lacks positive experiences. Through our volunteers, he is currently discovering his curiosity and even eats from his hand. The shelter lacks the opportunity to work with such dogs, so Luan's only chance is a home with people who have no expectations of him, accept him as he is, and are positively surprised by his development. Currently located in Romania and allowed to travel if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated for intestinal parasites and ectoparasites upon arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

01/2026 Luan, geboren ca. 04/2022, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 07/2022 Luan kam als Welpe gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern Lia und Linus zu Maria und ist mittlerweile zu einem hübschen jungen Rüden herangewachsen. Er hat sich leider zum Angsthäschen entwickelt und findet Menschen momentan noch ein wenig gruselig, weil ihm schlichtweg positive Erfahrungen fehlen. Durch unsere Volontäre entdeckt er momentan seine Neugier und frisst sogar schon aus der Hand. Im Shelter fehlt die Möglichkeit viel mit solchen Hunden zu arbeiten und daher ist Luans einzige Chance ein Zuhause bei Menschen die keine Erwartungen an ihn haben, ihn so annehmen wie er ist und sich von seiner Entwicklung positiv überraschen lassen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Luan

What life with Luan looks like

Luan is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luan, answered.

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