Luigi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Luigi is receiving training to help manage his behavior around other dogs. He needs basic home training but has settled well in foster care and can be left alone for up to four hours. Luigi has vision problems and walks into things, possibly being long or short sighted. He can be intense around other dogs but responds well to training. Best as only pet, prefers quiet walks with potential for future socialization. He's affectionate with known people but can be worried or excitable with strangers. Needs home with children 13+ who are comfortable with large, excitable breeds and can help with training.

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Yes Luigi has been living in a foster home, where he has settled in well, and can comfortably be left home alone for up to 4 hours. Luigi has also shown great potential to continue developing by building more home alone with the right support and guidance in his new home. Do I have any medical conditions? None Luigi, on occasion, has been seen walking into things and is possibly long-sighted or short-sighted. This is something we’re not concerned with. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, whether historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? No Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Luigi can be conflicted when he sees dogs, some he will bark at, others he wants to meet (sometimes too eagerly). He’s responded brilliantly to his training since coming into us and we’ll show you the training we’ve started so it can be continued in his new home. He would prefer to be walked in quieter areas, although there is potential for him to socialise with appropriate dogs in the future. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? As Luigi came to us as a stray, we are unsure whether he has lived with children in a home environment before. With this in mind, along with his size and excitable nature, we would recommend that any children in his new home are aged 13 years or older. Luigi isn’t always sure how to feel when meeting new people. Sometimes he can be a little worried, while at other times he is a bouncy and enthusiastic boy. We are currently working on some training to help him stay calm when greeting people, and he is responding very well. With his favourite people, Luigi is just a big, heavy baby! He is very affectionate and loves attention, often leaning in for fuss and cuddles, especially if there’s a bum rub involved! What type of environment would suit me? Luigi is looking for a home with its own private, secure garden and fencing of at least 6ft. He loves nothing more than zooming around outdoors, burning off energy with a favourite soft toy in tow…… the bigger the toy, the better! Having a secure garden will not only give Luigi a safe space to play and relax, but will also support his ongoing training and provide him with some valuable off lead time. About Luigi Meet Luigi — our big brindle boy! Luigi is a lovable young lad who’s still learning the ropes and taking in the world one adventure at a time. He thrives on being close to his people and absolutely loves heading out for exciting walks or having a good run off-lead in secure fields. This handsome boy has a soft spot for toys, especially giant teddies he can proudly carry around and play with on his own. Enrichment and playtime make his tail wag like nothing else! Luigi is hoping to find a home with someone who has experience or is willing to research his breed, be patient, committed and ready to continue the training he’s already started. With the right guidance, he’ll grow into the incredible companion he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic, teddy-carrying buddy, Luigi might just be your perfect match!

About Luigi

What life with Luigi looks like

Luigi is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Vision problems - possibly long or short sighted, walks into things

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luigi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luigi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Woodgreen Pets Charity handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luigi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luigi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Woodgreen Pets Charity 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Luigi 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 Luigi 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 Woodgreen Pets Charity early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luigi 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
