Lucky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Border-Collie-MixRüde, born: 2014Foreign: suspiciousChildren: noRüden: OKHündinnen: OK Lucky, born on 9.03.2014, is a Border Collie mixed breed. He had to be taken to the animal shelter because his owners were overwhelmed. He is a very sensitive dog who doesn't like loud noises and needs more time to build trust with his people. While he is very active and playful for his breed, he should be placed in a very active home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, such as in the form of dog sports. He has a hunting drive, but he also walks well on a leash. Interested parties should bring some time for getting to know him, as during walks, everything else seems more important than the people present.

Der Rasse angepasst ist er sehr bewegungsfreudig und verspielt. Daher sollte er in ein sehr sportliches Zuhause wo man ihm viel Bewegung und Beschäftigung, z.B. in Form von Hundesport, bieten kann.Jagtrieb ist vorhanden, er läuft aber auch schon gut an der Leine mit.Interessenten sollten etwas Zeit zum Kennenlernen mitbringen,da im Moment beim spazieren gehen Alles Andere wichtiger ist als die Menschen die dabei sind.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen in Dillingen.

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.

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. Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen 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 — Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen 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 Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen 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.
