Lucky (Zuhause und Paten gesucht)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Moving into an animal shelter at 14 years old is no easy step for a dog – for Lucky especially not. According to his previous owner, he was very attached to his trusted people, something we unfortunately haven’t seen much of yet. Together with his roommate Elaine, he walks around, sniffs, and shows a lot of curiosity. However, without her, he is very insecure. He also snaps if he feels pressured. We hope that he will soon develop trust in us so that he feels more comfortable. For the handsome male dog, we are looking for people with experience in dog care, ideally with a nice, confident female dog. If you are interested in meeting Lucky, feel free to send us a detailed email. This animal has a history of biting.

DE·Show original

Mit 14 Jahren ins Tierheim umzuziehen, ist für einen Hund kein leichter Schritt – für Lucky schon mal gar nicht. Laut seinem Vorbesitzer war er sehr an seine Bezugspersonen gebunden, wovon wir hier leider bis jetzt wenig mitbekommen. Zusammen mit seiner Zimmerpartnerin Elaine läuft er mit, schnüffelt und wirkt neugierig. Ohne sie ist er jedoch sehr unsicher. Er schnappt auch noch zu, wenn man ihn bedrängt. Wir hoffen, dass er ganz bald Vertrauen zu uns fasst, damit er sich wohler fühlt. Für den hübschen Rüden suchen wir Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, idealerweise mit einer netten, souveränen Hündin. Wenn Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen mit Lucky interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Lucky (Zuhause und Paten gesucht)

What life with Lucky (Zuhause und Paten gesucht) looks like

Lucky (Zuhause und Paten gesucht) is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 (Zuhause und Paten gesucht), answered.

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