Lucky Luuk

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Lucky Luuk was found as a young dog on the street, probably abandoned by his owner. Luckily, he was taken in by the shelter, where he has now been living for several years. A new volunteer at the shelter has seen something special in this dog, and we would like to find him an owner in the Netherlands. With his enthusiastic and cheerful character, that should surely be possible. Lucky Luuk is staying at Abir Animal shelter in Athens. Stray dogs that are lucky enough to be taken in there are allowed to roam freely within the shelter, including outside. Volunteers take care of the dogs, and there is a lot of cuddling. In short, the dogs learn that people are fun and friendly. If you want a cheerful little dog, then Lucky Luuk is your dog. This enthusiastic gentleman is 7 years old but still super playful and fond of walks. At the moment, Lucky Luuk is staying at a shelter in Athens, where he is doing just fine, but we would still very much like to find him a home of his own. Lucky Luuk is a social and friendly dog who likes to be involved in everything. He comes along on walks to the beach, where he can happily run around with all his dog friends. He always wants to play with a ball with the caregiver, or he comes over for a cuddle. He would prefer to be busy all day long, but he also enjoys a nap in the shade. He has not lost his trust in people and is very sociable toward everyone who stops by. He is always up for some fun. Lucky Luuk has had all the necessary vaccinations, has his microchip, and is ready to make the journey to the Netherlands. What we are looking for for Lucky Luuk is a family that can give him all the attention he so deserves. He is an easygoing dog and already walks well on the leash, but of course he will still need to get used to all the new things here in the Netherlands. Lucky Luuk is a carrier of leishmaniasis; he responds well to the medication and has

Lucky Luuk is als jonge hond gevonden op straat, waarschijnlijk achtergelaten door zijn baas, gelukkig kreeg hij een plekje in de opvang waar hij nu al een aantal jaren woont. Er is een nieuwe vrijwilliger bij de opvang en ze ziet iets bijzonders in deze hond en we zouden dan voor hem in Nederland een baasje willen vinden, door zijn enthousiaste en vrolijke karakter zou dat toch mogelijk moeten zijn. Lucky Luuk verblijft bij Abir Animal shelter in Athene, Zwerfhonden die de mazzel hebben om daar opgevangen te worden, mogen los rondlopen in de opvang, ook buiten. Vrijwilligers verzorgen de honden en er wordt veel met ze geknuffeld. Kortom, de honden leren dat mensen leuk en vriendelijk zijn. Wil je een vrolijk hondje, dan is Lucky Luuk jullie hond. Deze enthousiaste heer is 7 jaar oud maar nog super speels en dol op wandelen. Op dit moment verblijft Lucky Luuk in een shelter in Athene, waar hij het prima naar zijn zin heeft, maar we zouden toch graag ook voor hem een eigen baasje vinden. Lucky Luuk is een sociaal en vriendelijk hondje dat het liefst overal bij betrokken wordt, hij gaat dan ook mee met de wandelingen naar het strand waar hij heerlijk kan rennen met alle honden vriendjes. Hij wil altijd spelen met een balletje met de verzorgster of komt even om geknuffeld te worden. Het liefst is hij de hele dag in de weer, maar hij houdt er ook van om in de schaduw een dutje te doen. Hij heeft het vertrouwen in mensen niet verloren en is erg sociaal naar iedereen die maar langskomt. Hij is altijd in voor een lolletje. Lucky Luuk heeft alle benodigde inentingen gehad en heeft zijn chip en hij is klaar om de reis naar Nederland te maken. Wat wij zoeken voor Lucky Luuk is een gezin dat hem alle aandacht kan geven die hij zo verdient, hij is een makkelijk hondje en loopt ook al goed aan de riem. maar zal natuurlijk nog wel aan alle nieuwe dingen hier in Nederland moeten wennen Lucky Luuk is drager van de ziekte leishmaniose, hij reageert goed op de medicijnen en heef

About Lucky Luuk

What life with Lucky Luuk looks like

Lucky Luuk is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lucky Luuk, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lucky Luuk?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Wereldhonden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lucky Luuk on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lucky Luuk if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Wereldhonden 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lucky Luuk 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 Luuk 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 Stichting Wereldhonden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucky Luuk 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
