How do I contact the shelter about Rudi?

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

Can I adopt Rudi if I live in another country?

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

R.I.P RUN FREE little RUDI The sky has a new star – ⭐️ – Our 17-year-old little RUDI made his way to the Rainbow Bridge and left us after only four months. The sweet �� – Rudi was spoiled, pampered, and cared for by us, and had no more pain at all! He was given up due to his age and general condition, and certainly because of the intensive care we provided. We would have wished to have Rudi with us for much longer, but unfortunately his kidneys failed. We are very sad because we had to simply open our hearts to Rudi, he was simply lovely and always happy to be stroked or petted by us and to feel our closeness. The all-around care was something we gladly took on; we can't understand why owners don't take the final step, but that is a different matter. ❤ R.I.P. little Rudi, it was beautiful to have you with us, we will not forget you ❤ Motte19 Jahre 2048 1152 admin admin2025-11-24 14:25:362026-03-23 13:25:40Motte19 Jahre Elpida13 Jahre 2048 1152 admin admin2025-10-24 12:20:282025-12-02 09:12:29Elpida13 Jahre Zausel 12 Jahre 654 800 admin admin2024-07-31 09:29:212025-10-13 10:19:05Zausel 12 Jahre Paula15 Jahre 650 800 admin admin2023-07-06 09:40:-14 15:23:12Paula15 Jahre Bobby11 Jahre 722 800 admin admin2023-06-01 15:33:-16 22:24:34Bobby11 Jahre Charly20 Jahre 630 800 admin admin2023-02-09 16:19:-11 09:40:36Charly20 Jahre Ludwig 15 Jahre 400 600 admin admin2023-02-07 13:19:332024-04-26 15:45:46Ludwig 15 Jahre Jimmy 541 589 admin admin2023-01-18 14:04:252023-01-18 14:04:25Jimmy Tamara 608 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:03:432023-01-18 14:03:43Tamara Opi 400 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:02:382023-01-18 14:02:38Opi Chico 612 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:01:412023-01-18 14:01:41Chico Shila 573 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:00:412023-01-18 14:00:41Shila Bibi 800 627 admin admin2023-01-18 13:59:192023-03-08 13:16:00Bibi Blacky 690 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:58:402023-01-18 13:58:40Blacky Didi 415 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:41:502023-01-18 13:41:50Didi Nicki 416 600

R.I.P RUN FREE kleiner RUDI Der Himmel hat einen neuen ⭐️ – Stern Unser 17 jähriger kleiner RUDI hat sich auf den Weg zur Regenbogenbrücke gemacht und uns nach nur vier Monaten schon wieder verlassen. Der süsse �� – Rudi wurde von uns verwöhnt, umsorgt, gepflegt und hatte vor allem jedenfalls bei uns keine Schmerzen mehr ! Er wurde aufgrund seines Alters und seines schlechten Allgemeinzustandes und sicherlich wegen seiner intensiven Betreuung abgegeben. Wir hätten Rudi so gerne noch viel mehr Zeit bei uns gewünscht, doch leider haben seine Nieren versagt. Wir sind sehr traurig, denn Rudi mussten wir einfach gleich in unser Herz schließen, er war einfach nur lieb und war immer froh, wenn er von uns gestreichelt/betüttelt wurde und unsere Nähe spürte. Die Rundum-Versorgung nahmen wir gerne in Kauf; wir können es bis heute nicht verstehen, warum Eigentümer den letzten Schritt nicht gehen wollen, aber das ist ein anderes Thema. ❤ R.I.P.kleiner Rudi, es war schön, das du bei uns warst, wir werden dich nicht vergessen ❤ Motte19 Jahre 2048 1152 admin admin2025-11-24 14:25:362026-03-23 13:25:40Motte19 JahreElpida13 Jahre 2048 1152 admin admin2025-10-24 12:20:282025-12-02 09:12:29Elpida13 JahreZausel 12 Jahre 654 800 admin admin2024-07-31 09:29:212025-10-13 10:19:05Zausel 12 JahreBonni16 Jahre 1125 2000 admin admin2024-07-10 08:58:242026-06-17 09:01:15Bonni16 JahrePaula15 Jahre 650 800 admin admin2023-07-06 09:40:-14 15:23:12Paula15 JahreBobby11 Jahre 722 800 admin admin2023-06-01 15:33:-16 22:24:34Bobby11 JahreCharly20 Jahre 630 800 admin admin2023-02-09 16:19:-11 09:40:36Charly20 JahreLudwig 15 Jahre 400 600 admin admin2023-02-07 13:19:332024-04-26 15:45:46Ludwig 15 JahreJimmy 541 589 admin admin2023-01-18 14:04:252023-01-18 14:04:25JimmyTamara 608 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:03:432023-01-18 14:03:43TamaraOpi 400 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:02:382023-01-18 14:02:38OpiChico 612 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:01:412023-01-18 14:01:41ChicoShila 573 600 admin admin2023-01-18 14:00:412023-01-18 14:00:41ShilaBibi 800 627 admin admin2023-01-18 13:59:192023-03-08 13:16:00BibiBlacky 690 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:58:402023-01-18 13:58:40Blacky Didi 415 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:41:502023-01-18 13:41:50DidiNicki 416 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:18:112023-01-18 13:18:11NickiMöhre 768 532 admin admin2023-01-18 13:15:102023-01-18 13:15:10MöhreKrümel 473 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:13:282023-01-18 13:14:08KrümelMecky 565 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:10:-18 13:10:04Mecky John-Boy 416 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:08:492023-01-18 13:08:49John-BoyLuna 447 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:07:442023-01-18 13:07:44LunaBrösel 415 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:06:412023-01-18 13:06:41BröselVicky 399 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:05:432023-01-18 13:05:43VickyDaddy Cool 512 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:04:332023-01-18 13:04:33Daddy CoolRudi 415 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:02:412023-01-18 13:02:41RudiLumpi 558 600 admin admin2023-01-18 13:00:492023-08-07 15:41:23LumpiScally 636 450 admin admin2023-01-18 12:59:-18 12:59:07ScallyRoxy vom Rockland 486 450 admin admin2023-01-18 12:55:462023-01-18 12:59:32Roxy vom RocklandZipfel17 Jahre 450 544 admin admin2023-01-18 12:33:272023-08-07 10:04:54Zipfel17 JahreFilou18 Jahre 450 576 admin

About Rudi

What life with Rudi looks like

Rudi is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Lucky Dog Hostel in Osterholz Scharmbeck.

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.
