How do I contact the shelter about Shila?

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 Shila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Shila 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 Shila 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 Shila 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 Shila 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.

Shila

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 16 years

Shila February 9, 2023 Gone yesterday, the sun shone almost everywhere, but not at Lucky Dog Hostel…. Our little Shila crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. Shila was 20 years old and showed us that it was time for her to go. Her body could no longer and thus we had to let the little mouse go with heavy hearts. Good journey little angel, it was nice having you, we will miss you.

Shila 2.April 2019 Gestern schien fast überall die Sonne, nur bei uns im Lucky Dog Hostel nicht….. Unsere kleine Shila ist gestern über die Regenbogenbrücke gegangen. Shila wurde 16 Jahre alt und sie zeigte uns, das es für sie Zeit war, zu gehen. Ihr Körper wollte / konnte nicht mehr und somit haben wir schweren Herzens die kleine Maus gehen lassen. Komm gut rüber kleiner Engel, es war schön mit dir, wir werden dich vermissen.

About Shila

What life with Shila looks like

Shila 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.
