How do I contact the shelter about Lucky?

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

Can I adopt Lucky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Freiburg 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 Lucky 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 Lucky 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 Freiburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lucky 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.

Lucky

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Lucky – a clever character head is searching for his forever home. This confident male dog is at the perfect age and is still on the lookout for his perfect match – his very own “cap.” Lucky greets familiar people with friendliness and openness. He is a highly intelligent and active dog who enjoys movement and mental stimulation. However, a relaxed leisure program is not enough for him – he wants to work, learn, be challenged, and supported. Exactly what kind of work this entails can be discussed together with his future people. Lucky would certainly be enthusiastic about tasks that require his fine sense of smell – for example, mantrailing, trail or area searches. Like many smart and sensitive dogs, Lucky also needs clear, loving guidance and an environment that understands his needs. If he is not challenged, he can build up frustration, which currently shows in leash aggression with other dogs. In stressful situations, he can become very intense, which is why he wears a well-trained muzzle when on a walk – just as normal for him as a pair of shoes is for us. With familiar people, Lucky shows these reactions much less. With patience, experience, and a secure handling, he will continue to learn to handle such situations more confidently. Lucky is an unpolished diamond – with the right person by his side, he can develop into a very special partner. For those looking for a true adventure heart with a brain, Lucky will be a loyal, exciting, and very special friend. TIER GEFUNDEN / TIER GESUCHT / TIERQUÄLEREI MELDEN?

Lucky – ein kluger Charakterkopf sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause Dieser selbstbewusste Rüde ist im besten Alter und befindet sich noch auf der Suche nach seinem perfekten Gegenstück ist – seinem ganz eigenen „Deckel“. Vertrauten Menschen begegnet Lucky freundlich und offen. Er ist ein hochintelligenter und aktiver Hund, der viel Freude an Bewegung und geistiger Auslastung hat. Dabei genügt ihm ein entspanntes Freizeitprogramm nicht – er möchte arbeiten, lernen, gefordert und gefördert werden. Wie genau diese „Arbeit“ aussieht, darf gern gemeinsam mit seinen zukünftigen Menschen besprochen werden. Besonders begeistert wäre Lucky sicher von Aufgaben, bei denen seine feine Nase gefragt ist – zum Beispiel Mantrailing, Fährten- oder Flächensuche. Wie viele kluge und sensible Hunde braucht auch Lucky eine klare, liebevolle Führung und ein Umfeld, das seine Bedürfnisse versteht. Wird er nicht ausgelastet, kann er Frust aufbauen, der sich aktuell bei Begegnungen mit anderen Hunden als Leinenaggression zeigt. In Stresssituationen kann er sich stark hineinsteigern, weshalb er beim Gassigehen vorsichtshalber einen gut antrainierten Maulkorb trägt – für ihn genauso normal wie für uns ein Paar Schuhe. Bei vertrauten Menschen zeigt Lucky diese Reaktionen kaum noch. Mit Geduld, Erfahrung und einem sicheren Umgang wird er weiter lernen, souveräner mit solchen Situationen umzugehen. Lucky ist ein ungeschliffener Diamant – mit dem richtigen Menschen an seiner Seite kann er sich zu einem ganz besonderen Partner entwickeln. Wer Lust auf ein echtes Abenteuerherz mit Köpfchen hat, wird in ihm einen treuen, spannenden und ganz besonderen Freund finden. Liebe Interessenten, schön, dass Sie sich für einen unserer Hunde interessieren! Bitte beantworten Sie alle Fragen vollständig und gewissenhaft, damit wir Ihre Anfrage direkt bearbeiten können.

About Lucky

What life with Lucky looks like

Lucky is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Freiburg in Freiburg.

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.
