Luigi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Luigi ist etwa 1,5 Jahre alt und ein ganz besonderer kleiner Kerl. Auch wenn er aktuell noch als „Angsthund“ bezeichnet wird, steckt hinter seiner Unsicherheit vor allem ein junger Hund, der die Welt noch kennenlernen und lernen möchte, dass er Menschen vertrauen kann. Luigi zeigt bereits, wie toll er sich entwickeln kann: An der Leine läuft er richtig gut und orientiert sich dabei prima an seinen Menschen. Da er sich in ungewohnten Situationen noch schnell erschrecken kann und dann instinktiv die Flucht ergreifen möchte, ist ein Sicherheitsgeschirr für ihn besonders wichtig. Geschirre, die über den Kopf gezogen werden, bereiten ihm allerdings Schwierigkeiten. Ideal wäre daher ein Sicherheitsgeschirr, das sich ohne Über-den-Kopf-Ziehen anlegen lässt. Für Luigi wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihm Zeit, Ruhe und ganz viel Verständnis schenken. Menschen, die ihn nicht drängen, sondern ihm die Pfote reichen und ihn in seinem eigenen Tempo entdecken lassen, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Wer Luigi die nötige Sicherheit gibt, darf erleben, wie aus einem vorsichtigen kleinen Hund Schritt für Schritt ein immer mutigerer und vertrauensvoller Begleiter wird. Luigi sucht Menschen, die nicht den perfekten Hund erwarten, sondern gemeinsam mit ihm wachsen möchten.

About Luigi

What life with Luigi looks like

Luigi is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ASPCA Friesoythe and surroundings in Saterland.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Luigi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luigi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ASPCA Friesoythe and surroundings 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 — ASPCA Friesoythe and surroundings 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 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 ASPCA Friesoythe and surroundings 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 (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.
