Lulu

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

In Linares live two very nice, young ladies - Shyra and Lulu, both Maltese girls. The two beauties are celebrating their fourth birthday in February 2023 and their biggest gift for this occasion would be a new family. The current owners have had the mother of the two little heartbreakers for many years, and when Shyra and Lulu were born, the owners thought it would be a good idea to keep two of the puppies as well. Maltese dogs are friendly and easygoing, but they are also very smart and the bright minds need to be challenged and encouraged. In their home, Shyra and Lulu have been demoted to sofa pillows and have come to terms with their fate, but now the owners feel burdened even by the most obvious things. The sisters rarely go for walks, have little incentive to learn, and now the point has been reached where even their owners realize that the situation is very sad for the two still so young dogs. Shyra and Lulu do not have to be rehomed together, although it would be nice. They can cope well on their own and have no problems making new friends. We wish for these two very quiet dogs right now to find families who can give them back the joy of playing, long walks, and cheerful evenings on the couch. Shyra and Lulu are really charming and cuddly, but their zest for life urgently needs a boost. If you are a fun-loving and active fan of mini dogs with curls, if you have time for a new friend in your life, and if you are desperately looking for a hot water bottle for long, cozy TV evenings, we would be happy to hear from you!

In Linares wohnen zwei sehr nette, junge Damen – Shyra und Lulu, ihres Zeichens Maltesermädchen. Die beiden Schönheiten feiern im Februar 2023 ihren vierten Geburtstag und ihr größtes Geschenk zu diesem Anlass wäre eine neue Familie. Die jetzigen Halter haben seit vielen Jahren die Mutter der zwei kleinen Herzensbrecherinnen, und als Shyra und Lulu auf die Welt kamen, dachten die Besitzer, dass es eine gute Idee wäre, zusätzlich zwei der Welpen zu behalten. Malteser sind freundliche und genügsame Hunde, aber sie sind eben auch sehr schlau und die hellen Köpfchen möchten gefordert und gefördert sein. In ihrem Zuhause wurden Shyra und Lulu zu Sofakissen degradiert und sie haben sich mit ihrem Schicksal auch abgefunden, aber nun fühlen sich die Besitzer auch mit den selbstverständlichsten Sachen belastet. Die Schwestern gehen selten spazieren, haben wenig Anreiz zu lernen, und nun ist der Punkt erreicht, wo selbst ihren Haltern klar ist, dass die Situation sehr traurig für die beiden noch so jungen Hunde ist. Shyra und Lulu müssen nicht zusammen vermittelt werden, auch wenn es schön wäre. Sie sind kommen gut einzeln zurecht und haben auch keine Probleme damit, neue Freunde kennenzulernen. Wir wünschen uns für die beiden im Moment sehr ruhigen Hunde, dass sie Familien finden, die ihnen den Spaß am Spielen, an langen Spaziergängen und fröhlichen Abenden auf der Couch wiederschenken können. Shyra und Lulu sind wirklich bezaubernd und verschmust, aber ihre Lebensfreude braucht dringend eine Auffrischung. Wenn Sie ein lustiger und aktiver Fan von Minihunden mit Locken sind, wenn Sie Zeit für eine neue Freundin in Ihrem Leben haben und Sie dringend noch eine Wärmflasche für lange, kuschelige Fernsehabende suchen, würden wir uns freuen, von Ihnen zu hören!

About Lulu

What life with Lulu looks like

Lulu is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An 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 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 Lulu, answered.

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