How do I contact the shelter about Lusy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lusy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lusy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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 Lusy 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 Lusy 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 Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lusy 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.

Lusy

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 3 months

Lusy was rescued in the year 2008 (!) as a three-month-old puppy together with her sister from a dumpster. Since then, no human has ever inquired about her, even though she is such a very special dog! That’s why we want to draw attention to Lusy again. Lusy is an extremely friendly and positive dog. She simply enjoys everything and everyone. Only cats are not among her friends. Lusy would also be a good fit for a family with children. Lusy lived most of her life on a property with her sister Nora. Eventually, Nora had the good fortune to find loving people in Germany and was able to experience what it means to have a family. Even though she didn’t have as much time left, Lusy was left alone. She had a strong bond with her sister for many years and had to process the loss. Her strength impresses the animal welfare workers the most! For Lusy never lost her smile or her cheerful character. Again and again, young dogs came to her foster home, which she welcomed with kindness.

Lusy wurde im Jahr 2008 (!) als 3 Monate alter Welpe zusammen mit ihrer Schwester aus einer Mülltonne gerettet. Seitdem hat nie irgendein Mensch nach ihr gefragt, obwohl sie doch so ein ganz besonderer Hund ist! Deshalb möchten wir noch mal auf Lusy aufmerksam machen Lusy ist ein äußerst freundlicher und positiver Hund. Sie freut sich einfach über alles und jeden. Nur Katzen gehören nicht zu ihren Freunden. Auch für eine Familie mit Kindern wäre Lusy gut geeignet. Lusy lebte die meisten Jahre ihres Lebens zusammen mit ihrer Schwester Nora auf einem Grundstück. Nora hatte schließlich das Glück, hier in Deutschland liebevolle Menschen zu finden und durfte so noch erleben, was es heißt, eine eigene Familie zu haben. Auch wenn ihr nicht mehr soviel Zeit vergönnt war Lusy blieb allein zurück. Sie hatte die vielen Jahre lang eine starke Bindung zu ihrer Schwester und musste den Verlust erst einmal verarbeiten. Ihre Stärke beeindruckt die Tierschützer ganz besonders! Denn nie verlor Lusy ihr Lächeln noch ihren fröhlichen Charakter. Immer wieder kamen junge Hunde auf ihre Pflegestelle, die sie alle freundlich aufgenommen hat. Aber die Jungen fanden stets ein Zuhause, nur Lusy blieb imm

About Lusy

What life with Lusy looks like

Lusy is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
