Lucky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Our senior English Setter mix Lucky is looking for a new home. He is initially unsure around strangers, but once he has gained trust, he shows himself to be open and friendly toward people. Typical of his breed, Lucky is sensitive and attuned to others. In certain situations he can become a bit overeager and overwhelmed, which is why he needs people who can guide him safely and calmly. His leash manners also still have room for improvement. Lucky requires heart medication. However, his musculoskeletal system is still in good shape for his age, so he can continue to enjoy walks and shared activities. We are looking for a loving and calm home for Lucky. Because of his physical limitations, we would ideally like a household with a securely fenced property. As a hunting dog, this would be ideal for him, so that he can enjoy his golden years relaxed, safe, and with the freedom he needs. In addition, we are looking for people experienced with hunting dogs who understand the needs of older dogs and who can give him the time, patience, and care he deserves.

Unser Senior English Settermix Rüde Lucky sucht ein neues Zuhause. Er ist anfangs unsicher fremden Menschen gegenüber, wenn er jedoch einmal Vertrauen gefasst hat, zeigt er sich aufgeschlossen und menschenfreundlich. Typisch für seine Rasse ist Lucky sensibel und feinfühlig. In gewissen Situationen reagiert er etwas übereifrig und überfordert, weshalb er Menschen braucht die ihn sicher und ruhig führen können. Dazu ist seine Leinführigkeit noch ausbaufähig. Lucky benötigt Herzmedikamente. Sein Bewegungsapparat ist für sein Alter jedoch noch gut, sodass er Spaziergänge und gemeinsame Aktivitäten weiterhin genießen kann. Wir suchen für Lucky ein liebevolles und ruhiges Zuhause. Aufgrund seiner körperlichen Einschränkungen wünschen wir uns möglichst einen Haushalt mit einem sicher eingezäunten Grundstück. Als Jagdhund wäre das für ihn ideal, damit er seinen Lebensabend entspannt, sicher und mit der nötigen Freiheit genießen kann. Außerdem suchen wir jagdhunderfahrene Menschen, die sich mit den Bedürfnissen älterer Hunde auskennen und ihm die Zeit, Geduld und Fürsorge schenken, die er verdient.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Flensburg in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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 Flensburg 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 Flensburg 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 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 Flensburg 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.
