Lucy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 17 years

Lucy is our beloved senior dog. She’s already 17 years old, but she still has so much joy in life and loves people more than anything. There are still countless wonderful things you can experience together with her. She loves going for walks very much and simply wants to be part of everything. We think that having children wouldn’t be a problem either; unfortunately, we can’t say anything about cats, though she doesn’t display any pronounced hunting behavior. Unfortunately, Lucy is incontinent. Therefore, a garden would be ideal for her—so she could go outside anytime she likes. Also, she can’t be left alone for long periods. So we’re looking for a home for her where she won’t have to be alone and where she’ll receive lots of love and attention once again.

Lucy ist unsere liebe Seniorin. Sie ist schon 17 Jahre alt. Sie hat aber noch so viel Lebensfreude und liebt Menschen über alles. Kann man mit ihr noch ganz viele tolle Dinge erleben. Sie geht sehr gerne Spazieren und möchte einfach dabei sein. Wir denken, dass auch kein Kinder kein Problem sein würde, zu Katzen können wir leider nichts sagen, sie zeigt aber kein ausgeprägtes Jagdverhalten. Leider ist sie Inkontinent. Daher wäre ein Garten ideal für sie, wo sie jederzeit raus kann. Außerdem kann sie nicht lange alleine bleiben Wir suchen also für sie ein Zuhause, wo sie nicht alleine sein muss und ihr nochmal ganz viel Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird.

About Lucy

What life with Lucy looks like

Lucy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Radolfzell 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. 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 Lucy, answered.

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