How do I contact the shelter about Bluna?

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

Can I adopt Bluna if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Plauen 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 Bluna 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 Bluna 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 Plauen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bluna 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.

Bluna

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 13 years

is a Labrador retriever dog who needs a very consistent home. In her attachment, she seeks out a primary caregiver within the family, whom she will also defend at times. Of course, this can be managed, but it requires dog experience and/or the willingness to attend dog training classes. Therefore, no children should live in the new home. Ideally, it would be a one-person household, then she would be the best friend to a human. Bluna gets along well with male fellow animals. Otherwise, Bluna is very obedient, she can give high fives and also follow all sorts of commands. Bluna was born in 2013 and has been back at the animal shelter since 2017. Sarah Künzel from Plauen is the godmother of Bluna. Many thanks to further godparents Monika Steinfurth, Leni Matthes, and Daniela Jungbeck.

ist eine Labradorhündin, die ein sehr konsequentes Zuhause benötigt. In ihrer Anhänglichkeit sucht sie sich innerhalb der Familie eine Bezugsperson aus, die sie dann auch durchaus verteidigt. Das kann man natürlich in den Griff bekommen, setzt aber Hundeerfahrung und/oder die Bereitschaft für den Besuch einer Hundeschule voraus. Im neuen Zuhause sollten deshalb keine Kinder leben. Am idealsten wäre eigentlich ein 1- Personen-Haushalt, dann wäre sie der beste Freund des Menschen. Mit männlichen Artgenossen ist Bluna gut verträglich. Ansonsten ist Bluna sehr gehorsam, sie kann Pfötchen geben und auch allerhand Kommandos. Bluna ist 2013 geboren und seit 2017 wieder im Tierheim. Sarah Künzel aus Plauen ist die Patin von Bluna. Vielen Dank Weitere Patenschaften haben Monika Steinfurth, Leni Matthes und Daniela Jungbeck übernommen. Vielen Dank

About Bluna

What life with Bluna looks like

Bluna is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Plauen in Plauen.

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.
