How do I contact the shelter about Lucia?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lucia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lucia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Lucia 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 Lucia 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 Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucia 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.

Lucia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

♀, born ca. 2024 - friendly - social - Lucia, born ca. 2024, is a small (Longhair Chihuahua-Spitz-???) mix girl. Lucia was abandoned and wandered confused and searching around a dump site – a sad sight for such a loving creature. But luck was on her side: she was found and went directly happily and trusting with our animal rescuer. This trust says everything about Lucia's character. After her rescue, she first came to an animal clinic, where she – like all our shelterlings – underwent the necessary quarantine period, was tested for various diseases, and vaccinated. Following this vaccination, however, she suffered a severe allergic reaction and had numerous seizures – the doctors could only barely save her life. As a result, she now suffers from a tremor in one ear; this could subside or remain permanent. What distinguishes Lucia? She is through and through social, clingy, and cuddly. She gets along excellently with dogs and cats. A dog who simply wants to be loved – and who returns this love a hundredfold. Lucia will be vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped and is waiting in an intake station in Sofia/Bulgaria for her big happiness. The adoption fee for Lucia is 480 Euros. Would you like to offer Lucia a suitable home? Then contact us via the following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

♀, geb. ca. 6/2024zutraulich - freundlich - sozialin Bulgarien Lucia, geboren ca. 2024, ist ein kleines (Langhaar-Chihuahua-Spitz-???) Mischlingsmädchen. Lucia wurde ausgesetzt und irrte verwirrt und suchend an einem Müllplatz umher – ein trauriger Anblick für ein so liebevolles Wesen. Doch das Glück war auf ihrer Seite: Sie wurde gefunden und ging direkt freudig und vertrauensvoll mit unserer Tierschützerin mit. Dieses Vertrauen sagt alles über Lucias Charakter. Nach ihrer Rettung kam sie zunächst in eine Tierklinik, wo sie – wie alle unsere Schützlinge – die notwendige Quarantänezeit durchlief, auf diverse Krankheiten getestet und geimpft wurde. Nach dieser Impfung erlitt sie jedoch eine schwere allergische Reaktion und hatte zahlreiche Krampfanfälle – die Ärzte konnten ihr Leben nur mit Mühe retten. Infolge dessen leidet sie nun unter einem Zittern an einem Ohr; dies könnte wieder abklingen oder dauerhaft bestehen bleiben. Was Lucia auszeichnet? Sie ist durch und durch sozial, anhänglich und verschmust. Sie versteht sich hervorragend mit Hunden und Katzen. Ein Hund, der einfach nur geliebt werden möchte – und der diese Liebe hundertfach zurückgibt. Lucia wird geimpft, kastriert und gechipt vermittelt und wartet in einer Auffangstation in Sofia/Bulgarien auf ihr großes Glück. Die Schutzgebühr für Lucia beträgt 580 Euro.

About Lucia

What life with Lucia looks like

Lucia is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An young 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.
