How do I contact the shelter about Luke?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner 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 — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Ein Herz für Streuner 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Luke has found its own home quickly! His story: For our Luke, we are searching for particularly loving people who can give an older, disappointed dog a chance at life, to spend the years that are left to him with dignity, warmth, and care. Luke was lucky in his misfortune, as he was rescued from certain death at the last second. The fire department pulled the poor dog from a river just before he drowned. Whether he fell in or was thrown in, we do not know, but for Luke, that no longer matters. For him, only the future counts! Now, the friendly, old male dog in the overcrowded Public Shelter in Baia Mare waits for his last chance and wishes for a better life. We have vowed to do everything we can to make this wish come true. Unfortunately, we do not know Luke's background, and he cannot tell us anything about it either. Perhaps he has not experienced much good, because one can read the sadness and disappointment in his beautiful, brown eyes. That is why we so much hope that the good fellow can spend his peaceful old age in a loving home. Luke is approximately 10 years old and about 50 cm in height. He has beautiful, short, fox-red fur, an expressive face, and small floppy ears. According to his age and physical condition, he is a quiet and modest dog. Luke has not given up hope yet; he wants to live and loves other dogs and people despite everything. For Luke, we wish for adopters with a particularly big heart and a lot of optimism who are willing to take on the task of reviving the life in an older and disappointed dog. With a lot of patience, love, and good treatment, it will surely be possible to make a small smile appear on his pretty face. We can imagine Luke in a quiet home – preferably with seniors or a single person. The most important thing is that his adopters can fully embrace him and offer him a life in accordance with his species with peaceful walks and enough contact with fellow animals. Who has a spot in their home and heart for the faithful Luke? Even a foster home would be very helpful for him. Luke can travel to his new home with a microchip, vaccinations, deworming, and flea treatment with an EU pet passport. He will be placed after a positive match. We thank the godmother Madlen Z. who gave Luke his name and thus a personal identity. As of: 01.07. This animal is vaccinated. This animal is microchipped.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Luke hat schnell sein eigenes Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Für unseren Luke suchen wir besonders tierliebe Menschen, die einem enttäuschte, älteren Hund eine Chance geben, die Jahre, die ihm noch bleiben, in Würde, Wärme und Fürsorge zu verbringen. Luke hatte Glück im Unglück, denn er wurde in letzter Sekunde vor dem sicheren Tod gerettet. Die Feuerwehr fischte den armen Hund kurz vor dem Ertrinken aus einem Fluss. Ob er hineinfiel oder geworfen wurde, wissen wir nicht, aber für Luke spielt das nun auch keine Rolle mehr. Für ihn zählt nur noch die Zukunft! Nun wartet der freundliche, alte Rüde im überfüllten Public Shelter in Baia Mare auf seine letzte Chance und wünscht sich ein besseres Leben. Wir haben uns vorgenommen, alles dafür zu tun, dass ihm dieser Wunsch erfüllt wird. Leider kennen wir Lukes Vorgeschichte nicht und er kann uns auch nichts davon erzählen. Vielleicht hat er noch nicht viel Gutes erlebt, denn man kann in seinen wunderschönen, braunen Augen lesen, dass er Trauer und Enttäuschung in sich trägt. Deshalb wünschen wir uns so sehr, dass der gute Kerl in einem liebevollen Zuhause einen geruhsamen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Luke ist ca. 10 Jahre alt und mit seinen ca. 50 cm mittelgroß. Er hat wunderschönes, kurzes, fuchsrotes Fell, ein ausdrucksstarkes Gesicht und kleine Schlappöhrchen. Seinem Alter und seinem körperlichen Zustand entsprechend ist er ein ruhiger und bescheidener Hund. Luke hat die Hoffnung noch nicht aufgegeben, er möchte leben und liebt trotz allem andere Hunde und Menschen sehr. Für Luke wünschen wir uns Adoptanten mit einem besonders großen Herz und viel Zuversicht, die sich der Aufgabe stellen wollten, in einem älteren und enttäuschten Hund die Lebensgeister wieder zu wecken. Mit viel Geduld, Liebe und guter Behandlung wird es sicherlich gelingen, ihm ein kleines Lächeln ins hübsche Gesicht zu zaubern. Wir können uns Luke in einem ruhigen Haushalt vorstellen – gerne bei Senioren oder bei einer alleinstehenden Person. Das Wichtigste ist, dass sich seine Adoptanten ganz auf ihn einlassen können und ihm ein artgerechtes Leben mit geruhsamen Spaziergängen und ausreichend Kontakt zu Artgenossen bieten wollen. Wer hat ein Plätzchen in seinem Haus und seinem Herzen für den braven Luke frei? Auch eine Pflegestelle würde ihm sehr helfen. Luke kann gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause reisen. Er wird nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 325 Euro vermittelt. Wir danken der Patin Madlen Z., die Luke seinen Namen und damit endlich eine eigene Identität gegeben hat. Stand: 01.07.2024

About Luke

What life with Luke looks like

Luke is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
