Luca

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Luca had to endure much in his previous life. He came from a Romanian horror shelter where the dogs only received irregular food, were partially severely mistreated, and many were exposed to freezing temperatures, some even succumbing to them. In a large rescue operation by several animal welfare organizations, the shelter was emptied – and Luca was able to leave behind this place of suffering. Now he is in our shelter in Fântânele. There, he is safe and well cared for, but a small kennel cannot replace a real home. Luca waits for the chance to finally arrive with his own people. The handsome male dog is approximately 5.5 years old. His black-and-white fur with beige accents gives him a special appearance, and his two ears, which "do their own thing," give him an unmistakable, lovable expression. Although it's clear that Luca has already endured a lot in his life, he has preserved his friendly nature. He is curious, lively, and very people-oriented. Particularly touching is how trusting he remains despite everything. Luca actively seeks proximity to humans, wants to be petted, enjoys attention, and would like to be everywhere with them – whether cuddling or on joint walks. Notably, there is a deep, clearly visible scar around his neck. It silently tells of suffered pain and hardship – exactly what happened to Luca, we do not know, but one can feel that Luca is not bitter despite everything. Therefore, he now deserves a life full of safety, __SECURITY, and love. Like many of our dogs, Luca probably hasn't yet experienced life in a household. Indoor cleanliness, leash manners, and daily routines will be new to him. With patience, loving consistency, and positive reinforcement, he will surely master these steps. A visit to a positively working dog training class could additionally support him and strengthen the bond with his people. For Luca, we wish responsible adopters who will give him time to adjust and show him that the difficult times are truly over. An experienced foster home could also be a valuable help and allow Luca to take the first step into a new life. People who appreciate his openness and offer him a stable, loving environment. Luca travels neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated with EU pet passport to his new home.

Luca musste in seinem bisherigen Leben viel ertragen. Er stammt aus einem rumänischen Horrorshelter, in dem die Hunde nur unregelmäßig Futter bekamen, teilweise schwer misshandelt wurden und viele den eisigen Temperaturen schutzlos ausgeliefert waren und ihnen auch erlagen. In einer großen Rettungsaktion mehrerer Tierschutzvereine wurde das Shelter geräumt – und Luca durfte diesen Ort des Leidens hinter sich lassen. Jetzt ist er in unserem Shelter in Fântânele. Dort ist er in Sicherheit und wird versorgt, doch ein kleiner Kennel kann kein echtes Zuhause ersetzen. Luca wartet darauf, endlich bei seinen eigenen Menschen ankommen zu dürfen. Der wunderschöne Rüde ist etwa 5,5 Jahre alt. Sein schwarz-weißes Fell mit beigen Akzenten verleiht ihm eine besondere Ausstrahlung, und seine beiden Ohren, die charmant „ihr eigenes Ding machen“, geben ihm einen unverwechselbaren, liebenswerten Ausdruck. Obwohl deutlich zu erkennen ist, dass Luca in seinem Leben schon viel durchmachen musste, hat er sich sein freundliches Wesen bewahrt. Er zeigt sich neugierig, lebhaft und sehr menschenbezogen. Besonders berührend ist, wie vertrauensvoll er trotz allem geblieben ist. Luca sucht aktiv die Nähe zum Menschen, möchte gestreichelt werden, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und würde am liebsten überall mit dabei sein – ob beim Kuscheln oder bei gemeinsamen Spaziergängen. Er lässt sich problemlos das Geschirr anziehen und läuft schon ganz prima an der Leine. Auffällig ist eine tiefe, deutlich sichtbare Narbe rund um seinen Hals. Sie erzählt stumm von erlittenem Schmerz und Leid – was genau ihm widerfahren ist, wissen wir nicht, doch man spürt, dass Luca trotzdem nicht verbittert ist. Umso mehr verdient er nun ein Leben voller Sicherheit, Geborgenheit und Liebe. Wie viele unserer Hunde kennt auch Luca das Leben im Haus vermutlich noch nicht. Stubenreinheit und Alltagsroutinen werden neu für ihn sein. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Konsequenz und positiver Bestärkung wird er diese Schritte jedoch sicher gut meistern. Der Besuch einer positiv arbeitenden Hundeschule kann ihn zusätzlich unterstützen und die Bindung zu seinen Menschen stärken. Für Luca wünschen wir uns verantwortungsbewusste Adoptant:innen, die ihm Zeit zum Ankommen geben und ihm zeigen, dass die schweren Zeiten endgültig vorbei sind. Auch eine erfahrene Pflegestelle wäre eine wertvolle Hilfe und könnte ihm den ersten Schritt in ein neues Leben ermöglichen. Menschen, die seine Offenheit zu schätzen wissen und ihm ein stabiles, liebevolles Umfeld bieten. Luca reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause. Die

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Ein Herz für Streuner 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 — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 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 Ein Herz für Streuner 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
