Louis - sporty and lively character seeking experienced people Our 4-year-old Louis is a sporty and lively male who seeks people who appreciate his personality. Once he has gained trust, he enjoys the closeness of his caregiver and gladly retrieves pats himself. Louis initially approaches strangers with skepticism and needs some time to warm up. Therefore, he desires a quiet home without children where he is offered security and clear structures. Louis is generally familiar with other dogs. He shows confidence towards them and enjoys playing - although his play style can be somewhat rough. Therefore, dog contacts should be carefully selected and accompanied. Louis brings a lot of energy and is happy about sports activities as well as shared adventures. There is still some basic training to learn in his basic education. In addition, he can occasionally be a bit stormy or rude towards his caregiver. However, with loving consistency, patience and clear guidance, Louis will surely learn a lot. Those seeking an active companion with edges, rough edges and a big heart will find in Louis a loyal friend who will bring much joy to his human.

Louis – sportlicher Charakterkopf sucht erfahrene Menschen Unser 4-jähriger Louis ist ein sportlicher und lebensfroher Rüde, der Menschen sucht, die seine Persönlichkeit zu schätzen wissen. Hat er Vertrauen gefasst, genießt er die Nähe seiner Bezugsperson und holt sich seine Streicheleinheiten gerne selbst ab. Fremden Menschen begegnet Louis zunächst skeptisch und braucht etwas Zeit, um aufzutauen. Deshalb wünscht er sich ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, in dem man ihm Sicherheit und klare Strukturen bietet. Mit anderen Hunden ist Louis grundsätzlich vertraut. Er zeigt sich ihnen gegenüber selbstbewusst und spielt gerne – dabei kann sein Spielstil allerdings etwas ruppig werden. Deshalb sollten Hundekontakte gut ausgewählt und begleitet werden. Louis bringt viel Energie mit und freut sich über sportliche Aktivitäten sowie gemeinsame Abenteuer. In seiner Grunderziehung gibt es noch einiges zu lernen. Zudem kann er seiner Bezugsperson gegenüber gelegentlich etwas stürmisch oder ruppig sein. Mit liebevoller Konsequenz, Geduld und klarer Führung wird Louis jedoch sicher viel dazulernen. Wer einen aktiven Begleiter mit Ecken, Kanten und einem großen Herzen sucht, findet in Louis einen treuen Freund, der seinen Menschen viel Freude bereiten wird.

About ouis

What life with ouis looks like

ouis is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Krefeld in Krefeld.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting ouis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ouis?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Krefeld handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ouis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ouis if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Krefeld 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ouis 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 ouis 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 Tierheim Krefeld early rather than rehoming privately; they know ouis 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.
