Luna

Female · Adult · 8 years

Eight-year-old Bracken mix Luna could be the perfect companion for someone who wants a loyal friend who will stand by their side through thick and thin. Luna is a strong-willed dog who is pleasant and unobtrusive indoors, but requires a stable and low-stimulation environment without much commotion for her well-being. She is initially skeptical and aloof around strangers. It takes some time and patience for her to trust, but once that bond is formed, Luna shows her best side and builds a close, friendly bond with her humans. We are looking for experienced owners who can read her body language and allow her the necessary time to adjust. Since she feels uncomfortable in chaotic situations, she should live as a single dog in a household without children. She also shows herself vigilant outdoors at times, which requires a confident handling. If you have the necessary experience and want to offer Luna the security she needs for a relaxed coexistence, please contact us to get to know her.

Wer eine loyale Begleiterin sucht, die für ihre Bezugspersonen durch dick und dünn geht, könnte in der achtjährigen Bracken-Mix-Hündin Luna die passende Partnerin finden. Luna ist eine charakterstarke Hündin, die im Haus angenehm ruhig und unauffällig ist, für ihr Wohlbefinden jedoch ein stabiles und reizarmes Umfeld ohne viel Trubel benötigt. Fremden gegenüber tritt sie zunächst skeptisch und distanziert auf. Es braucht etwas Zeit und Geduld, bis sie Vertrauen fasst, aber sobald dieses Band geknüpft ist, zeigt sich Luna von ihrer besten Seite und baut eine enge, freundliche Bindung zu ihren Menschen auf. Wir suchen daher Halter mit Erfahrung, die ihre Körpersprache lesen können und ihr das nötige Tempo bei der Eingewöhnung zugestehen. Da sie sich in unruhigen Konstellationen unwohl fühlt, sollte sie als Einzelhund in einem kinderlosen Haushalt leben. Auch draußen zeigt sie sich zeitweise wachsam, was einen souveränen Umgang voraussetzt. Wer über die nötige Erfahrung verfügt und Luna die Sicherheit bieten möchte, die sie für ein entspanntes Zusammenleben braucht, kann sich gerne bei uns melden, um sie kennenzulernen.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a adult dog waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 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.

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. Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel 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 — Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel 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 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 Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel 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 (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.
