Luise

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Luise is a charming, small female dog that you would like to take into your arms immediately. Unfortunately, the little mouse has not yet had a nice dog's life, as she was used solely for breeding. No wonder she now needs to learn the right world and is currently shy and anxious towards everything new. Our sweetie still clearly shows her uncertainty. She would rather be constantly on the move and it is very difficult for her to be alone. Therefore, due to excessive excitement, a small accident can happen in the house. Although the walk rounds are relaxed, the little one feels more comfortable in her "four walls" at the moment. Luise therefore needs a quiet home with people who have a bit of empathy, who can give her love and take pleasure in mending a small dog soul. An elderly couple with lots of time and patience would be ideal. Experience with Chihuahuas and possibly a second small dog could be optimal prerequisites. Best placed with a resident dog (second-dog home).

DE·Show original

Luise ist ein bezauberndes, kleines Hundemädchen, das man am liebsten sofort beschützend in den Arm nehmen möchte. Leider hatte die kleine Maus noch kein schönes Hundeleben, da sie ausschließlich zur Zucht diente. Kein Wunder, dass sie nun die richtige Welt erst kennen lernen muss und zur Zeit noch allem Neuen schüchtern und ängstlich gegenüber steht. Die Unsicherheit merkt man unserer Süßen noch deutlich an. Am liebsten wäre sie ständig in Bewegung und das alleine bleiben fällt ihr überaus schwer. Vor lauter Aufregung kann deshalb im Haus auch mal ein kleines Malheur passieren. Obwohl die Gassi-Runden entspannt verlaufen, fühlt sich die Kleine in ihren “4 Wänden” im Moment noch wohler. Luise benötigt deshalb ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen mit etwas Einfühlungsvermögen, die ihr Liebe schenken und Freude daran haben eine kleine Hundeseele zu reparieren. Ideal wäre ein Paar im Rentenalter mit viel Zeit und Geduld. Chihuahua Erfahrung und evtl. ein kleiner Zweithund könnten optimale Voraussetzungen sein.

About Luise

What life with Luise looks like

Luise is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Luise, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luise?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luise on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luise if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken 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 Luise 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 Luise 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luise 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.
