Luka

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Luka, Dora and Hoppy are three charming mixed-breed puppies, just four months old, living at our shelter, Refugio. Their start in life was far from easy: Luka, Dora and Hoppy lived with 14 other dogs with a single man - a case of Animal Hoarding. When the man suddenly passed away, the family did not want to take the dogs and did not provide for them. Eventually, all the animals ended up in the Perrera in Andújar. Thanks to our María José, six of them - including the three siblings and their mom Cami - were able to move to our shelter. Shortly after their arrival, the puppies fell seriously ill with Parvovirus and had to receive intensive medical treatment, but all three fought bravely and fortunately survived. Hoppy also suffered a severe infection and lost some toes on his front paw. He is not yet fully fit, but he is getting better. Our vet says he will be able to lead a normal, happy dog life. Luka is the most courageous of the siblings. Fresh at the shelter, he found everything unfamiliar, but he is becoming more relaxed. Luka is very playful, friendly and very social with other dogs. Little Dora is still very reserved. She hides and is afraid of people; once she snapped when she was lifted up for veterinary treatment. However, if you are patient, she lets herself be stroked. We think that Dora will develop well in the coming weeks if she has more positive experiences with people. She is very friendly towards her brothers and the other dogs and likes to romp around with them. Hoppy is a gentle, very sweet little boy. He also gets scared quickly in new situations and with strangers, but he is becoming more courageous day by day. He lets himself be stroked by his caregivers. He has also already met cats. We wish these three young fighters loving and patient families who understand their history and accompany them confidently. Despite everything they have experienced, Luka, Dora and Hoppy are lively dogs who just want to belong. Who will give one of them a forever home? Luka 03/2026

Andújar, den 03. 03. 2026 Die drei bezaubernden Mischlinge Luka, Dora und Hoppy sind gerade einmal vier Monate alt und leben doch schon im Tierheim, bei uns im Refugio. Ihr Start ins Leben war alles andere als leicht: Luka, Dora und Hoppy lebten gemeinsam mit 14 weiteren Hunden bei einem alleinlebenden Mann – ein Fall von Animal Hoarding. Als der Mann plötzlich verstarb, wollte die Familie die Hunde nicht übernehmen und versorgte sie nicht weiter. Schließlich landeten alle Tiere in der Perrera in Andújar. Dank unserer María José konnten sechs von ihnen – darunter die drei Geschwister und ihre Mama Cami – in unser Refugio umziehen. Kurz nach ihrer Ankunft erkrankten die Welpen schwer an Parvovirose und mussten intensiv medizinisch behandelt werden, aber alle drei haben tapfer gekämpft und zum Glück überlebt. Hoppy erlitt zusätzlich eine schwere Infektion und verlor dadurch einige Zehen an der Vorderpfote. Er ist noch nicht wieder ganz fit, aber es geht ihm immer besser. Unser Tierarzt sagt, er wird ein ganz normales, glückliches Hundeleben führen können. Luka ist der Mutigste der Geschwister. Frisch im Refugio fand er alles unheimlich, er wird aber immer entspannter. Luka ist sehr verspielt, freundlich und sehr sozial mit anderen Hunden. Die kleine Dora ist noch sehr zurückhaltend. Sie versteckt sich und hat Angst vor Menschen; einmal hat sie geschnappt, als sie für eine tierärztliche Behandlung hochgehoben werden musste. Bringt man jedoch Geduld mit, lässt sie sich gerne streicheln. Wir denken, dass Dora sich in den nächsten Wochen gut entwickeln wird, wenn sie immer mehr positive Erfahrungen mit Menschen macht. Ihren Brüdern und den anderen Hunden gegenüber ist sie sehr freundlich und tobt gerne mit ihnen herum. Hoppy ist ein sanfter, sehr lieber kleiner Rüde. Noch bekommt auch er schnell Angst in neuen Situationen und vor fremden Menschen, er wird aber Tag für Tag etwas mutiger. Von seinen Bezugspersonen lässt Hoppy sich für sein Leben gerne streicheln. Auch Katzen hat er schon kennengelernt. Für diese drei jungen Kämpfer wünschen wir uns liebevolle und geduldige Familien, die Verständnis für ihre Vorgeschichte mitbringen und sie souverän begleiten. Trotz allem, was sie erlebt haben, sind Luka, Dora und Hoppy lebensfrohe Hunde, die einfach nur dazugehören möchten. Wer schenkt einem der dreien ein Zuhause für immer? Video Luka 03/2026

About Luka

What life with Luka looks like

Luka is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vergessene Pfoten e.V. in Wangelau.

A 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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luka?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vergessene Pfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luka if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vergessene Pfoten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Luka 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 Luka 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 Vergessene Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luka 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.
