Donal

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Donal is a 4 year old 38kg cuddly boy. He loves being around people and he says hello to people out and about on his adventures. He doesn't like that cats and squirrels tease him on walks so he does tell them off with his big boy bark. He doesn't need that much walking and is quite happy with a couple of 30 minute walks with time to snooze in between. He really enjoys going on new adventures and loves going for a drive. He is perfect in the house as he loves snoozing in his bed and would make the best companion for someone who works from home as he will keep you company on zoom calls. Donal would like to be an only dog but he can meet up with friends for walks. He can live with older kids but no cats or small furries. Donal is happy to be left for up to 4 hours and is clean in the house. If you think you are a great match for Donal please fill in this enquiry form .

About Donal

What life with Donal looks like

Donal is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Luna Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Donal, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Donal?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Luna Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Donal on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Donal if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Luna Animal Rescue 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 Donal 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 Donal 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 Luna Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Donal 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.
