How do I contact the shelter about Lucky Lu?

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

Can I adopt Lucky Lu if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken 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 Lucky Lu 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 Lu 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucky Lu 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.

Lucky Lu

Mixed Breed · Male

Lucky Lu – SOS for the beloved one on four legs … Our Lucky Lu is still a feisty, strapping fellow, super fit and possesses the calm and serenity of a loving soul. One can feel that he was loved his whole life. He trusts his human and stands by him through thick and thin! The devoted dog and his master had a very intimate relationship. When the master had to move to a nursing home for health reasons, the co-habitant caretaker took good care of the boy for a long time. They also regularly made home visits together, which gave everyone the strength to get through this tough time. After the master passed away, the drama began. The house is currently being sold by the heirs, the caretaker has to move to a small apartment, which Lucky Lu is not allowed to join, leaving him with no place to stay. He stands literally on the street. Now we urgently need a foster home or a new forever home. The handsome Lucky Lu is a Border Collie straight out of a picture book – smart, obedient, runs beautifully on a leash, can be left alone for a while, follows his commands perfectly, and is the ideal companion for beautiful walks. This gem truly deserves a second chance. The heartwarming male dog is a real hidden gem for a wonderful companionship. Let him come to you without rushing him and enjoy his friendship!

Lucky Lu – SOS für den Liebling auf vier Pfoten … Unser Lucky Lu ist noch ein fescher, strammer Bursche, super fit und besitzt die Ruhe und Gelassenheit einer lieben Seele. Man fühlt, dass er sein ganzes Leben lang heiß geliebt wurde. Er vertraut seinem Menschen und geht für ihn durch dick und dünn! Der brave Hundemann und sein Herrchen hatten eine sehr innige Beziehung. Als dieser aus gesundheitlichen Gründen ins Pflegeheim wechseln musste hat sich die Mieterin, die auch mit im Haus wohnte, lange Zeit fürsorglich um den Buben gekümmert. Auch Heimbesuche haben sie regelmäßig zusammen unternommen. Dies gab allen die Kraft diese schwere Zeit zu überstehen. Nachdem das Herrchen verstarb, begann das Drama. Das Haus wird aktuell von den Erben verkauft, die Mieterin muss in eine kleine Wohnung ziehen, in die Lucky Lu nicht mit darf, sodass er letztendlich keine Bleibe mehr hat. Er steht sprichwörtlich auf der Straße. Nun suchen wir dringlichst einen Pflegeplatz oder ein neues Zuhause. Der hübsche Lucky Lu ist ein Border Collie wie aus dem Bilderbuch – klug, folgsam, läuft wunderschön an der Leine, kann mal brav alleine bleiben, befolgt seine Kommandos perfekt und ist der ideale Begleithund für schöne Spaziergänge. Dieses Juwel hat es wirklich verdient noch eine zweite Chance zu bekommen. Der herzensgute Rüde ist ein echter Geheimtipp für ein wundervolles Miteinander. Lassen Sie ihn ankommen, ohne ihn zu bedrängen und genießen Sie seine Freundschaft!

About Lucky Lu

What life with Lucky Lu looks like

Lucky Lu is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 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.
