Lucky

Chihuahua · Male · Adult · 8 years

Lucky and Balu are delightful dogs. They initially make it loudly clear that this is their kennel, but calm down quickly and are then curious and open to people. After a few minutes, they also show their cuddly side and enjoy the attention. Since they are already older, they are looking for a quiet home. Also with older people who like to be outdoors for nice walks. By sympathy, also with existing dogs. They should not know cats, but that should not be a problem either. We would be happy if they could find a place together!

DE·Show original

Lucky und Balu sind entzückende Hunde. Sie machen Anfangs zwar lautstark klar, dass das ihr Zwinger ist, beruhigen sich aber schnell und sind dann neugierig und menschenoffen. Nach ein paar Minuten zeigen sie dann auch ihre kuschelbedürftige Seite und genießen die Zuwendung. Da sie schon älter sind, suchen sie ein ruhiges Zuhause. Gerne auch bei älteren Menschen, die aber noch gerne in der Natur unterwegs sind für schöne Gassi Runden. Nach Sympathie, gerne auch schon zu vorhandenen Hunden. Katzen dürften sie nicht kennen, sollte aber auch kein Problem sein. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn sie gemeinsam einen Platz finden würden!

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

An 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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lucky, answered.

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