How do I contact the shelter about Luke?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Europa 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 — Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Tierschutzverein Europa 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.

Luke

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 20 years

Luke's mischievous glance, his sweet floppy ears, and his large paws can already greatly delight a dog lover. Luke is not only a little heartthrob but also the best friend of Cooper. It was love at first sight, and it says a lot about the heartwarming puppy: he loves his buddy Cooper, with whom he lives together in the animal shelter, very much. Luke is a very affectionate friend with a big heart for other dogs and especially for people. Luke had great luck being taken in by the animal shelter Perros con Alma and currently living there. Of course, it is even nicer if he finds his person or family soon, where he can arrive and stay forever. Luke has a lot to give: lots of joy, loyalty, a very loving, clingy being… and the best prerequisites to become a wonderful friend and companion to a person. It is likely that Luke lived in a family where he was well treated. This is probably why his strong people orientation is so strong. He is a dog who wants to belong to his people and who still has a lot to learn. Learning will certainly not be difficult for him if he is given the necessary time, a little patience, but especially a joy in being together with him. His new primary caregiver should have fun and joy in outdoor activities in nature, because that is what Luke will love. Just like training and learning units and of course time for cuddles. He already knows how to walk on a leash. A rural future living environment would please him very much. Not much is known about Luke's past. Abandoned and undernourished, he wandered alone in a village near Zaragoza. In this village, many seasonal workers live who return to their homeland at the end of the season and leave "their" dogs behind, leaving them completely on their own. Luke had the good fortune to come to an animal shelter where his bowls are filled daily with fresh water and food, and where he was medically examined. © 2006-2024 by animal welfare association Europa e.V.

Lukes schelmischer Blick, seine süßen Schlappohren und seine großen Pfoten können einen Hundeliebhaber schon sehr begeistern. Luke ist nicht nur ein kleiner Herzensdieb, sondern auch der beste Freund von Cooper. Es war wohl Liebe auf den ersten Blick und es sagt viel über den herzensguten Hundebuben aus: er liebt seinen Kumpel Cooper, mit dem er zusammen im Tierheim lebt, sehr. Luke ist ein sehr liebevoller Freund mit einem großen Herz für andere Hunde und besonders auch für Menschen. Luke hatte großes Glück, dass er im Tierheim von Perros con Alma aufgenommen wurde und dort momentan leben darf. Noch schöner ist es natürlich, wenn er ganz bald seinen Menschen bzw. seine Familie findet, bei dem/der er ankommen und für immer bleiben darf. Luke hat viel zu geben: ganz viel Freude, Treue, ein sehr liebes, anhängliches Wesen… und die besten Voraussetzungen dem Menschen ein wunderbarer Freund und Begleiter zu werden. Vermutlich hat Luke in einer Familie gelebt, wo er gut behandelt wurde. Deshalb wohl seine starke Menschenbezogenheit. Er ist ein Hund, der zu seinen Menschen gehören möchte und der noch ganz viel lernen will. Das Lernen wird ihm sicherlich nicht schwer fallen, wenn ihm die nötige Zeit, etwas Geduld aber vor allem Lust am Zusammensein mit ihm entgegengebracht wird. Seine neue/n Bezugsperson/en sollte/n Spaß und Freude an Outdoor-Aktivitäten in der Natur haben, denn das wird Luke lieben. Ebenso wie Trainings- und Lerneinheiten und natürlich Zeit für ihn zum Kuscheln. Er weiß bereits, wie man an der Leine läuft. Ein ländliches zukünftiges Lebensumfeld würde ihm sehr gefallen. Über Lukes bisherige Lebensgeschichte ist nicht viel bekannt. Ausgesetzt und unterernährt streunte er in einem Dorf in der Nähe von Zaragoza alleine umher. In diesem Dorf wohnen viele Saisonarbeiter, die nach Saisonende in ihre Heimat zurückreisen und „ihre“ Hunde einfach zurücklassen und damit sich völlig selbst überlassen. Luke hatte das Glück, in ein Tierheim zu kommen, wo seine Näpfe täglich mit frischem Wasser und Futter gefüllt werden und wo er medizinisch untersucht wurde. © 2006-2024 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

About Luke

What life with Luke looks like

Luke is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa 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.
