A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna

Mixed Breed · Female

A special home needed for our Luna. Many of you have followed Luna's story, and we have loved seeing the progress she has made. Her hair has grown back she has put on 7 kilos and is clearly looking and feeling great. Luna is a larger mixed breed dog, around eight years old, who has overcome enormous challenges since arriving with us. Although she is almost completely blind, she is full of life and enthusiasm. Every day, she continues to learn and adapt to her surroundings. Luna has worked hard to navigate her environment and has made great strides in building confidence. Steps remain a challenge, and she tends to approach them with more enthusiasm than caution. For this reason, we are looking for a home with few or no steps to help keep her safe. How good our girl looks today As Luna has emerged from her previously shut-down state, her affectionate and needy side has appeared. She loves human company and thrives on attention. However, she will need time, patience, and understanding to settle into a new home. We are seeking a committed adopter who will give her the time she needs and support her through the adjustment period. Mid August and already looking so much better Due to her limited vision, Luna can sometimes jump towards where she believes a person is and may try to grab at them. She is learning helpful cues and coping strategies, including recognising the word "step", which she now associates with kerbs and changes in level. Luna currently receives treatment for skin and ear conditions. She remains on steroids but we will gradually weaning her off them when she is ready. She also enjoys regular baths, orange mousse treatments, and weekly grooming sessions. In addition, she is receiving eye drops while her ongoing needs are assessed. Thankfully, Luna has an easy-to-use instruction manual: cream cheese. Whether it's baths, medication, or eye drops, cream cheese makes everything easier for both Luna and her carers. For the right person, Luna will be an incredibly rewarding companion. She simply needs someone willing to give her the chance she deserves.

What life with A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna looks like

A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK) in United Kingdom.

Frequently asked

Adopting A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK) 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna 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 A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna 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 Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK) early rather than rehoming privately; they know A special home needed for our remarkable girl Luna 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 (EN). 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.
