How do I contact the shelter about Lucy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ulm 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 — Tierheim Ulm 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 Tierheim Ulm 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.

Lucy

Female · Senior · 12 years

Our dear Lucy is a charming Terrier mix female dog ready to find her forever home again. Lucy is a very loving, friendly and sociable dog who quickly wins hearts with her calm nature. At the shelter she shows herself very relaxed - she hardly barks, sleeps a lot due to age and enjoys every attention given to her. Despite her age Lucy still likes going out and takes nice, leisurely walks for her 12 years old age. A few pounds less would certainly do her good, which is why regular exercise and adjusted feeding would be beneficial for her. Lucy was given up with a heavy heart as her owner was transferred abroad due to military work. The giving up had nothing to do with Lucy herself. We wish Lucy a loving home where she can enjoy her twilight years in peace. People who enjoy leisurely walks, cuddling sessions and a loyal companion will find in Lucy a wonderful friend. Who will give our dear senior one more home where she can arrive and stay?

Unsere liebe Lucy ist eine charmante Terrier-Mix-Hündin und bereit, noch einmal richtig anzukommen. Lucy ist eine ausgesprochen liebe, freundliche und umgängliche Hündin, die mit ihrer ruhigen Art schnell die Herzen erobert. Im Tierheim zeigt sie sich sehr entspannt – sie bellt kaum, schläft altersbedingt viel und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit, die man ihr schenkt. Trotz ihres Alters ist Lucy noch gerne unterwegs und läuft für ihre 12 Jahre noch schöne, gemütliche Spaziergänge mit. Ein paar Kilos weniger würden ihr dabei sicherlich guttun, weshalb regelmäßige Bewegung und eine angepasste Fütterung ihr guttun würden. Lucy wurde schweren Herzens bei uns abgegeben, da ihr Besitzer beruflich zum Militär ins Ausland versetzt wurde. Die Abgabe hatte also keinerlei Gründe, die mit Lucy selbst zu tun hatten. Für Lucy wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ihren Lebensabend in Ruhe genießen darf. Menschen, die Freude an entspannten Spaziergängen, gemeinsamen Kuschelstunden und einer treuen Begleiterin haben, werden in Lucy eine wundervolle Gefährtin finden. Wer schenkt unserer lieben Seniorin noch einmal ein Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen und bleiben darf

About Lucy

What life with Lucy looks like

Lucy is a large senior dog waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

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.
