How do I contact the shelter about Luis?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Chemnitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Luis if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Chemnitz 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 Luis 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 Luis 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 Chemnitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luis 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.

Luis

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Our Sonnenschein "_Luis" is a mixed-breed male hunting dog, shoulder height around 55 cm, and 1 year old. Once the ice has melted, _Luis is very loving, lively, open, and very cuddly. As befits a hunting dog, _Luis plays and frolics all day with his fellow animals (preferring medium to large dogs), but then also seeks out some peace to cuddle and sleep. At first, he needs some time to build trust. Whenever he sees familiar bipeds, he is very happy, immediately stops playing, and runs up to us and begs for a pat. Since he is very active according to his breed, he can only be placed in a house with an enclosed garden (at least 1.20 m high) so that he can also run around in the yard without a leash. Larger children (age 6 and up) can be present in the new home, but cats are better not due to the hunting instinct. Anyone who wants to give our Sonnenschein "Luisa" a nice, species-appropriate home, please contact us by email. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Unser Sonnenschein „Luis“ ist ein Jagdhund Mischlingsrüde, Schulterhöhe ca. 55 cm und 1 Jahr alt. Ist das Eis einmal geschmolzen ist Luis sehr lieb, aufgeweckt, aufgeschlossen und sehr verschmust. Wie es sich für einen Jagdhund gehört, spielt und tobt Luis den ganzen Tag mit seinen Artgenossen (er bevorzugt mittlere und größere Hunde), sucht aber dann auch einmal die Ruhe zum kuscheln und schlafen. Anfangs benötigt er etwas Zeit um Vertrauen um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Über die bekannten Zweibeiner freut er sich jedes Mal sehr, unterbricht sofort sein Spiel und läuft auf uns Menschen zu und bittet um eine Streicheleinheit. Da er entsprechend seiner Rasse sehr bewegungsfreudig ist, wird er nur in Haus mit eingezäunten Garten (min. 1,20 m hoch) abgegeben, damit er auch ohne Leine im Grundstück mal richtig toben kann. Größere Kinder (ab 6 Jahren) können gern im neuen Zuhause vorhanden sein, Katzen aufgrund des Jagdhundeinschlages besser nicht. Wer unserem Sonnenschein „Luisa“ ein schönes, artgerechtes Zuhause schenken möchte, der meldet sich bitte per Mail.

About Luis

What life with Luis looks like

Luis is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Chemnitz in Chemnitz.

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.
