Luna

Female · Adult · 5 years

Luna is a beautiful Bretagne, born in 2020. Her name means "Moon," and indeed there is something gentle and delicate in her character - like the quiet light of the moon over calm waves. Luna's life began in sunny Spain, but her past was anything but easy. A flood catastrophe once took away everything she knew - her familiar environment, her security, perhaps even her family. What remained was a frightened dog who no longer understood the world. When animal protectors found Luna, she was exhausted, shy, and full of distrust. Yet in her eyes, a small light glimmered - a sign of hope that had never completely gone out. Today, Luna shows herself to be a very friendly, sensitive, and loyal dog, who has a big heart despite her experiences. She approaches new people cautiously, step by step, and when she gains trust, she gives it completely. Luna loves quiet walks in nature, the rustling of leaves, and quiet voices. Loud noises or hectic movements can still unsettle her - she needs time, patience, and people who show her that no wave will ever take her away again. Luna wishes for a home where she can find trust and peace. People with a heart, patience, and a fine sensitivity for her sensitive soul. Ideally, a rural environment with a secure garden where she can move freely and soak up the sun. Luna gets along well with other dogs - especially with calm, friendly companions who give her security. Would you like to accept the challenge and give Luna a home? Luna would also be very happy about a foster home. Here is Luna's video.

Luna ist eine wunderschöne Bretonin, geboren im Jahr 2020. Ihr Name bedeutet „Mond“, und tatsächlich liegt etwas Sanftes, Zartes in ihrem Wesen – wie das leise Licht des Mondes über stillen Wellen. Lunas Leben begann im sonnigen Spanien, doch ihre Vergangenheit war alles andere als leicht. Eine Flutkatastrophe riss ihr einst alles fort, was sie kannte – ihre vertraute Umgebung, ihre Sicherheit, vielleicht sogar ihre Familie. Zurück blieb eine verängstigte Hündin, die die Welt plötzlich nicht mehr verstand. Als Tierschützer sie fanden, war Luna erschöpft, scheu und voller Misstrauen. Doch in ihren Augen glomm ein kleines Licht – ein Zeichen von Hoffnung, das nie ganz erloschen war. Heute zeigt sich Luna als eine sehr freundliche, sensible und loyale Hündin, die trotz ihrer Erlebnisse ein großes Herz hat. Sie nähert sich neuen Menschen vorsichtig, Schritt für Schritt, und wenn sie Vertrauen fasst, schenkt sie es ganz. Luna liebt ruhige Spaziergänge in der Natur, das Rascheln von Blättern und leise Stimmen. Laute Geräusche oder hektische Bewegungen können sie noch verunsichern – sie braucht Zeit, Geduld und Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass keine Welle mehr sie fortreißen wird. Luna wünscht sich ein Zuhause, in dem sie Vertrauen und Ruhe finden darf. Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und einem feinen Gespür für ihre sensible Seele. Ideal wäre ein ländliches Umfeld mit einem sicheren Garten, in dem sie sich frei bewegen und Sonne tanken kann. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich gut – besonders mit ruhigen, freundlichen Artgenossen, die ihr Sicherheit geben. Möchten Sie die Herausforderung annehmen und Luna ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde sie sich sehr freuen. Hier geht’s zu Lunas Video

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a large adult dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 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. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 — SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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.
