What we can report about Luca How did Luca end up in the animal shelter? Luca came to the animal welfare association Trier after the death of his first owner and from there to a couple in the Dachau district. Since the owners could not manage with him and felt "threatened" by Luca, he was transferred to the Dachau animal shelter. How is Luca currently behaving in the animal shelter? Due to recurring, therapy-resistant ear inflammation (caused by allergies), Luca had to undergo surgery. He must therefore follow a strict diet. Luca is well accustomed to wearing a muzzle, and one needs to be physically capable to handle this impressive male dog. He needs some time to build trust but then shows himself to be friendly and enjoys cuddles. Luca likes to go for walks but needs to be led with caution. Update December 2025: With his witty nature, Luca has won the hearts of his two regular walkers, who now allow him to regularly explore the Dachau Amper Forest. He loves splashing in the water and then rolling around.

Was wir über Luca berichten können Wie kam Luca ins Tierheim? Luca kam nach dem Ableben seines ersten Besitzers zum Tierschutzverein Trier und von dort aus zu einem Ehepaar im Landkreis Dachau. Da die Besitzer nicht mit ihm zurechtkamen und sich durch Luca „bedroht fühlten“, wurde er dem Tierheim Dachau übereignet. Wie zeigt sich Luca derzeit im Tierheim? Luca musste aufgrund immer wiederkehrender therapieresistenter Ohrenentzündung (allergiebedingt) operiert werden. Er muss deshalb eine strenge Futtermitteldiät einhalten.Luca ist gut an einen Maulkorb gewöhnt und man muss dem stattlichen Rüden körperlich gewachsen sein. Er braucht einige Zeit um Vertrauen zu fassen, zeigt sich dann freundlich und genießt Streicheleinheiten. Luca geht gerne spazieren, muss dabei aber vorausschauend geführt werden. Update Dezember 2025: Luca hat durch seine witzige Art das Herz seiner beiden Stammgassigeher erobert und diese ermöglichen ihm jetzt regelmäßige Erkundungstouren durch den Dachauer Amperwald. Er liebt es im Wasser zu plantschen und sich anschließend zu wälzen. Impressionen von Luca Luca 1 Luca 2 Luca 3

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a young adult dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Dachau e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luca, answered.

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