Luigi

Male

Luigi wandered around a village in Hungary for weeks, probably searching for food. Unfortunately, his eye was severely injured and had to be removed when he was finally caught. We don't know what happened to his eye, but he gets along very well with just one eye. At the animal shelter, he is super friendly, and he also gets along well with the other dogs on the farm. Luigi is looking for a loving home where he can be taken care of and find security.

DE·Show original

Luigi ist wochenlang in einem Dorf in Ungarn umher gelaufen. Wahrscheinlich war er auf der Suche nach Fressen. Leider war sein Auge stark verletzt, so dass es entfernt werden musste, als er sich endlich einfangen lassen hat. Was mit dem Auge passiert ist, wissen wir leider nicht, aber er kommt sehr gut mit nur einem Auge zurecht. Im Tierheim ist er super lieb, freundlich und auch mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheimhof versteht er sich gut. Luigi sucht ein liebes Zuhause, in dem man sich um ihn kümmern möchte und Geborgenheit finden kann.

About Luigi

What life with Luigi looks like

Luigi is a adult dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

An 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. Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. 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 — Herz für Ungarnhunde 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 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 Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. 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.
