Luke

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Luke is a calm and lively little rabbit. Once he sheds his insecurity, he's a loyal soul who loves being with his people. He knows how to ride the bus and train, take walks through the city, and go on small hikes. He does these things very well, but we've still trained him to wear a muzzle for safety reasons. Driving in a car is no problem either. He knows basic dog commands, but not more advanced ones. Luke isn't your typical Border Collie; he doesn't want to learn thousands of tricks and please at all costs. He's more of a calm and relaxed companion as long as his insecurity doesn't overwhelm him and causes him to lash out in overcompensation. Encounters with other dogs can sometimes involve barking and pulling on the leash. Therefore, he needs quiet, experienced people who can read body language and want to work patiently on his insecurity. If he has someone in his heart, he wants lots of cuddles, preferably all day long. He hasn't been trained to be alone at home yet. He knows how to live with a confident female dog. However, he isn't universally compatible with all dogs; it varies from dog to dog. Small children shouldn't live in the household or visit often. Luke has problems with fast, hectic movements. A 1-2 person household would be best. Get to know Luke. He loves being around people, but his insecurity is still a bit of an obstacle for him.

DE·Show original

Luke ist ein ruhiger und aufgeweckter kleiner Angsthase. Legt er aber erst einmal seine Unsicherheit ab, ist er eine treue Seele und sehr gerne bei seinen Menschen. Er kennt Bus- und Bahnfahren, Spaziergänge durch die Stadt und kleine Wanderungen. Das macht er sehr gut, allerdings haben wir ihm zur Sicherheit trotzdem einen Maulkorb antrainiert. Auto fahren ist auch kein Problem. Er beherrscht das Hunde 1×1, aber nicht mehr. Luke ist kein typischer Bordercollie, er möchte keine tausende Tricks lernen und um jeden Preis gefallen. Er ist eher ein ruhiger und entspannter Zeitgenosse, solange ihn seine Unsicherheit nicht übermannt und ihn auch einmal aus Überforderung nach vorne schießen lässt. Auch Begegnugen mit anderen Hunden können unter Umständen mit Bellen und an der Leine ziehen einhergehen. Daher braucht er ruhige, erfahrene Menschen die Körpersprache lesen können und mit Geduld an seiner Unsicherheit arbeiten wollen. Wenn er jemanden ins Herz geschlossen hat, dann will er auch ganz viele Krauleinheiten, am liebsten den ganzen Tag. Alleine bleiben in der Wohnungwurde bisher noch nicht geübt. Er kennt das Zusammenleben mit einer souveränen Hündin. Allerdings ist er nicht pauschal mit allen Hunden verträglich. Das ist von Hund zu Hund unterschiedlich. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt wohnen oder oft zu besuch kommen. Luke hat Probleme mit schnellen, hektischen Bewegungen. Am Besten wären ein 1-2 Personen-Haushalt. Lernen Sie Luke einfach kennen. Er liebt es unter Menschen zu sein, nur seine Unsicherheit steht ihm leider dabei noch etwas im Wege.

About Luke

What life with Luke looks like

Luke is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Friends for Life Germany e.V. in Hemer.

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 Luke, answered.

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