Lucky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Lucky – calm lucky charm seeks a home → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 09/2017 → Size / Weight: 45 cm / 15 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Lucky (Bosnian: "Srecko") stands for lucky charm. A word that aptly describes the story of this relaxed, calm male dog. In February 2025, he was taken in at our shelter in Zikreta, frightened and with an infected bite wound on his neck. It is likely that the injury was inflicted by a gang of stray dogs. But Lucky had a stroke of luck; he was found in time and received veterinary treatment with drainages and bandages, allowing the wound to heal well and enabling our lucky charm to recover in a safe environment. Here, Lucky has made great progress and is gradually regaining his trust in other two- and four-legged friends. Due to his reserved and loving nature, Lucky would be vulnerable to further attacks on the streets of Bosnia. We do not want to subject this male dog to that at all! We wish for Lucky a home full of love, security, and safety. Would you like to be part of Lucky's good fortune? Feel free to contact us! Note: This animal is still abroad and is looking for a foster or permanent home. If you can offer a foster home to increase the chances of placement, please speak to us.

Lucky – ruhiger Glückspilz sucht Zuhause → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 09/2017 → Grösse / Gewicht: 45 cm / 15 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung: Lucky (bosnisch: „Srecko“) steht für Glückspilz. Ein Wort, das die Geschichte des entspannten, ruhigen Rüden gut umschreibt. Im Februar 2025 wurde er verängstigt und mit einer infizierten Bisswunde im Nackenbereich in unserer Pension bei Zikreta aufgenommen. Vermutlich wurde ihm die Verletzung durch eine Bande von Straßenhunden zugefügt. Doch Lucky hatte Glück im Unglück, wurde rechtzeitig gefunden und tierärztlich mittels Drainagen und Verbänden behandelt. Sodass die Wunde gut abheilen und unser Glückspilz in einer sicheren Umgebung genesen konnte. Hier macht Lucky große Fortschritte und gewinnt peu à peu sein Vertrauen in andere Zwei- und Vierbeiner zurück. Aufgrund seiner zurückhaltenden und liebevollen Art wäre Lucky auf Bosniens Straßen anfällig für weitere Attacken. Das wollen wir dem Rüden auf gar keinen Fall zumuten! Wir wünschen uns für Lucky ein Zuhause voller Liebe, Geborgenheit und Sicherheit. Sie wollen Teil von Luckys Glück sein? Kontaktieren Sie uns gerne! Hinweis:Dieses Tier befindet sich noch im Ausland und sucht einen Pflege- oder Endplatz. Wenn Sie eine Pflegestelle bieten möchten, um die Vermittlungschancen zu erhöhen, sprechen Sie uns einfach an. Wir freuen uns über jede H

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.

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. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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.
