Luis

Mixed Breed · Male

Luis is looking for a home 💚 Meet Luis Luis - a clever little head with lots of joie de vivre is looking for his people 💛 Luis wants to discover the world - most of all together with his own people. Breed: Mixed gender: male Born: 02/2025 Color: Tricolor Size: approx. 53 cm Weight: approx. 15.5 kg Character: open, curious, people-oriented, cheerful, clever and eager to learn Luis is a really great young dog who develops further from day to day on his foster home. He shows himself very open, friendly and open-minded towards people. He seeks their proximity and likes to be in the thick of things. Luis also generally approaches his environment with curiosity and courage. If there is something that initially unsettles him, he first takes a closer look at the situation. It often doesn't take long before his curiosity takes over and he dares to approach it himself. So he manages to overcome small uncertainties on his own and becomes increasingly more confident and independent. A clever little head that wants to be challenged Luis is incredibly eager to learn and really enjoys working with his people. He understands new tricks in part within a few minutes and also responds very well to his name. He quickly accepts corrections and shows a high motivation to learn. In addition, he is strongly oriented towards the dogs living in the household and learns a lot from them. A confident dog buddy could therefore be a nice addition for Luis. And then of course there's the matter of boundaries. 😄 Luis is a true-blooded young dog and occasionally finds that rules should first be checked for their meaningfulness. He likes to try out what works - and sometimes also whether a rule doesn't apply anymore on the second try. But he can handle clear, loving and consistent boundaries very well

🐾 Luis sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Luis kennenlernen Luis – cleveres Köpfchen mit ganz viel Lebensfreude sucht seine Menschen 💛 Luis möchte die Welt entdecken – am allerliebsten gemeinsam mit seinen eigenen Menschen. Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: männlich Geboren: 02/2025 Farbe: Tricolor Größe: ca. 53 cm Gewicht: ca. 15,5 kg Charakter: offen, neugierig, menschenbezogen, fröhlich, clever und lernfreudig Luis ist ein richtig toller Junghund, der sich auf seiner Pflegestelle von Tag zu Tag weiterentwickelt. Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich sehr offen, freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Er sucht ihre Nähe und ist gerne mittendrin statt nur dabei. Auch seiner Umwelt begegnet Luis grundsätzlich neugierig und mutig. Gibt es doch einmal etwas, das ihn zunächst verunsichert, schaut er sich die Sache erst einmal in Ruhe an. Häufig dauert es gar nicht lange, bis seine Neugier siegt und er sich selbst herantraut. So schafft er es immer wieder, kleine Unsicherheiten aus eigener Kraft zu überwinden und wird zunehmend sicherer und selbstständiger. Ein cleveres Köpfchen, das beschäftigt werden möchte Luis ist unglaublich lernfreudig und hat richtig Spaß daran, gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen zu arbeiten. Neue Tricks versteht er teilweise innerhalb weniger Minuten und auch auf seinen Namen reagiert er bereits sehr gut. Korrekturen nimmt er schnell an und zeigt eine hohe Motivation beim Lernen. Im Haushalt orientiert er sich außerdem stark an den dort lebenden Hunden und schaut sich viel von ihnen ab. Ein souveräner Hundekumpel könnte für Luis daher durchaus eine schöne Bereicherung sein. Und dann wäre da natürlich noch die Sache mit den Grenzen. 😄 Luis ist ein waschechter pubertierender Junghund und findet gelegentlich, dass Regeln zunächst einmal auf ihre Sinnhaftigkeit überprüft werden sollten. Er probiert gerne aus, was geht – und manchmal auch, ob eine Regel beim zweiten Versuch vielleicht doch nicht mehr gilt. Mit klaren, liebevollen und konsequenten Grenzen kann er aber sehr gut umgehen

About Luis

What life with Luis looks like

Luis is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luis?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAL Finikas (Kreta) 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 — APAL Finikas (Kreta) 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 APAL Finikas (Kreta) 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.
