LUCA

Mixed Breed · Male

Luca appeared one day on the outskirts of the village. No one knows where he comes from or what his past is. He was taken to the pound. But at Luca, what is the greatest is undoubtedly his heart. And how can you let such a big heart fall into oblivion. He was therefore taken in by the shelter and we will do everything to make him happy with a future family. Luca is a wonderful companion. He is a noble and funny dog, super cuddly. He loves to be taken care of. He is an active dog who will enjoy game sessions and beautiful walks. He is very intelligent and learns quickly. At the shelter, he lives with other dogs in good harmony and he also loves the presence and attention of the volunteers. Luca is a big baby (German Shepherd size) who needs a family to thrive.

Luca est apparu un jour aux abords du village. personne ne sait d'où il vient ni quel est son passé. Il a été amené à la fourrière. Mais chez Luca, ce qui est le plus grand, c'est sans aucun doute son coeur. Et comment laisser un coeur si grand tomber dans l'oubli. Il a donc été pris en charge par le refuge et nous ferons tout pour qu'il puisse faire le bonheur d'une future famille. Luca est un compagnon merveilleux. C'est un chien noble et drôle, super câlin. Il adore qu'on s'occupe de lui. C'est un chien actif qui appréciera les parties de jeu et les belles balades. Il est très intelligent et apprend vite. Au refuge, il vit avec d'autres chiens en bonne harmonie et il aime aussi beaucoup la présence et l'attention des bénévoles. Luca est un gros bébé (taille berger allemand) qui a besoin d'une famille pour s'épanouir.

About LUCA

What life with LUCA looks like

LUCA is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Association Kahlua in association kahlua.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. Association Kahlua 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 — Association Kahlua 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 Association Kahlua 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 (FR). 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.
