How do I contact the shelter about Lucas?

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 Lucas on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lucas 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Lucas 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 Lucas 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 Lucas 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.

Lucas

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Melissa L. Futterpatenschaft: Lucas, born circa 2014, approximately 40cm shoulder height, in shelter since 07/2024. Lucas is a non-touchable grandfather. He is not panicked, he just doesn't want to be touched. He is blind in one eye. His new home should be designed so that he can come and go as he pleases. A garden should definitely be available. If possible, he should not be forced to come into contact with humans and leashes for every pee. Other dogs are no problem for him, because he is simply out of the age for disputes. We assume that he will build a connection to humans as soon as he arrives in a home. We wish him a home with experienced and patient people who let him arrive at his own pace and show him what a good dog life is. Maybe Lucas will be good for one or the other positive surprise and will learn to appreciate human closeness. Currently still in Romania, may leave if a home has been found. Vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies + basic immunization) chipped, tested with SNAP 4Dx test (Lyme disease, heartworm, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis) neutered compatible with conspecifics. Transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the country of destination. Please note the information on this page:

05/2025 Futterpatenschaft: Melissa L. Tierarztpatenschaft: - Lucas, geboren ca. 2014, ca. 40cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 07/2024 Lukas ist ein nicht anfassbarer Opa. Panisch ist er nicht, er möchte nur einfach nicht angefasst werden. Er ist auf einem Auge blind. Sein neues Zuhause sollte so gestaltet sein, dass er rein und raus kann wie er möchte. Ein Garten sollte auf jeden Fall vorhanden sein. Nach Möglichkeit sollte er nicht gezwungen sein, für jedes Pipi mit Mensch und Leine in Kontakt kommen zu müssen. Andere Hunde sind für ihn überhaupt kein Problem, denn aus dem Alter für Streitereien ist er einfach raus. Wir gehen davon aus, dass er eine Verbindung zum Menschen aufbauen wird, sobald er in einem Zuhause angekommen ist. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei erfahrenen und geduldigen Menschen, die ihn in seinem Tempo ankommen lassen und ihm zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Vielleicht ist Lucas dann für die ein oder andere positive Überraschung gut und wird noch lernen, die menschliche Nähe zu schätzen zu wissen. aktuell noch in Rumänien, darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut + Grundimmunisierung) gechipt, getestet mit SNAP 4Dx Test (Borreliose, Herzwurm, Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose) kastriert verträglich mit Artgenossen Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt.

About Lucas

What life with Lucas looks like

Lucas is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
