Luna

Beagle · Female · Adult · 4 years

Luna is a loving and affectionate girl who has plenty of love to give. She can be a little shy sometimes when first meeting new people, but once she gets to know you, she enjoys nothing more than spending time with her favourite humans. One of her favourite things is having a cuddle on the sofa, especially after a day of adventures! Luna enjoys her treats and is particularly fond of a dog-friendly apple and carrot ice lolly. She loves playing with her toys too, especially rope toys, and enjoys a fun game of fetch. When it comes to getting out and about, Luna loves exploring on her walks and particularly enjoys visiting parks and the beach. She also enjoys spending time playing with other dogs. On warmer days, you may even find Luna enjoying one of her favourite hobbies, having a lovely sunbathe! Luna is a clever girl who already knows a range of commands, including sit, down, stay, come and wait. She is a sweet, affectionate companion who would love a family that can offer her plenty of love, fun and adventures. If you're looking for a loving girl who enjoys both exciting walks and cosy cuddles on the sofa, Luna could be the perfect addition to your family! Luna is a 4-year-old Beagle cross Collie who is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy plenty of adventures as well as relaxing with her favourite people. Luna could potentially share her home with another dog, particularly as she enjoys playing with other dogs and has a good history of living with one. However, she would also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home. Luna cannot live with cats or small furries, and we have no history of her around livestock. She could live with secondary school-aged children and has a good history of being around children. Luna is housetrained, travels well in the car and can be left for up to four hours. She could cope with a reasonably busy household, although she can be worried by loud sounds, such as fireworks. Luna enjoys her walks but can pull on the lead.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a small adult beagle dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Luna, answered.

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