Adopt Luke

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Luke is a 3-year-old male dog who has already overcome several challenges in his young life. Born with a deformed front leg, which eventually had to be amputated after an infection, he has adapted to his condition. Currently, he resides in a dog pension near Eschede (Niedersachsen), after his previous owner passed away. While this temporary arrangement is suitable, what Luke truly desires is a loving home where he can settle in properly. Luke requires some getting-to-know-you time and gets along well with female dogs – with males, he decides based on their compatibility. An ideal home would be one as an only dog or with a confident female dog. Due to his three legs, he is somewhat limited in mobility, so we would prefer an ground-floor home with a garden where he can move around, as long walks are not possible for him. The deformed front leg and the infection previously caused him extreme pain, leading him to wear a muzzle for safety reasons and to react possessively in certain situations. Since the amputation, he no longer experiences pain! He is leash-trained and accustomed to wearing a harness, and he already handles these well. Luke is a bit clumsy and is primarily characterized by his eager, curious, but also sensitive nature. He loves being close and affectionate, enjoys cuddle sessions, and can also be left alone at home for periods. He is house-trained and reliably signals when he needs to go outside. Regular physiotherapy would help with muscle building and reducing strain on his body – and of course, plenty of affection and love. Luke is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and has an EU pet passport.

Luke ist ein 3-jähriger Rüde, der in seinem jungen Leben bereits einige Herausforderungen meistern musste. Schon von Geburt an lebte er mit einer deformierten Vorderpfote, die nach einer Entzündung schließlich amputiert werden musste. Aktuell lebt er in einer Hundepension nahe Eschede (Niedersachsen), nachdem er seine vorige Besitzerin verloren hatte. Diese Unterkunft ist jedoch nur eine Übergangslösung - was er sich wirklich wünscht, ist ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er richtig ankommen kann. Luke benötigt ein bisschen Kennenlernzeit und verträgt sich gut mit Hündinnen - bei Rüden entscheidet er nach Sympathie. Ideal wäre ein Zuhause als Einzelhund oder mit einer souveränen Hündin. Da er aufgrund seiner drei Beine etwas eingeschränkt ist, würden wir uns wünschen, dass ihm ein ebenerdiges Zuhause mit Garten zur Verfügung steht, in dem er sich bewegen kann, denn lange Spaziergänge sind für ihn nicht möglich. Die deformierte Vorderpfote und Entzündung haben früher extreme Schmerzen bei ihm ausgelöst, weshalb er früher aus Sicherheitsgründen einen Maulkorb tragen musste und in bestimmten Situationen besitzergreifend reagieren konnte. Er hat durch die Amputation keine Schmerzen mehr! Er kennt Leine und Geschirr und geht an diesen schon gut. Luke ist etwas tapsig und kennzeichnet sich vor allem durch seine lernwillige, neugierige, aber auch sensible Art. Er liebt Nähe und Zuwendung, genießt Kuscheleinheiten und kann dennoch auch mal gut allein Zuhause bleiben. Er ist stubenrein und zeigt zuverlässig an, wenn er raus muss. Regelmäßige Physiotherapie würde ihm bei Muskelaufbau und zur Entlastung des Körpers helfen - und natürlich ganz viel Zuwendung und Liebe. Luke ist geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und hat einen europäischen Heimtierausweis.

About Luke

What life with Luke looks like

Luke is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfairliebt e.V. in Berlin.

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. Tierfairliebt 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 — Tierfairliebt 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 Tierfairliebt 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.
