Luna

Dachshund · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Luna – Bognor Regis Female, tweenie Chocolate and tan c.6-7 years old Not neutered You may remember the beautiful Luna, who came into our care following a request for help from another rescue charity. We’re delighted to share that after spending the last two weeks in her foster home, Luna is now ready to begin the search for her forever family. Luna has settled wonderfully into family life and has quickly shown what a loving and affectionate girl she is. She adores being around her people, loves curling up in her cosy bed, and enjoys playing with her toys. She is crate trained, settles well when left, and can comfortably be on her own for up to four hours. While Luna has adapted well to home life, she has found living alongside the resident dachshunds a little challenging. Although this may be influenced by her hormones, we currently feel she would be happiest as the only dog in the home. Outside of the home, Luna enjoys her walks, walks nicely on lead, and is not reactive towards other dogs she meets. Luna has recently undergone a veterinary check. She has a heart murmur, which will continue to be monitored, and it is believed that she has recently had puppies. She will be spayed when the time is right for her health and wellbeing. This procedure will be fully funded by The Red Foundation and Kim’s Home for Elderly and Abused Dogs, who have also very generously donated £300 towards her spay costs. Luna is a truly lovely girl looking for a loving home of her own. While we may not know much about her past, we do have the opportunity to make an enormous difference to her future. Could you be the one to give Luna the happy ending she deserves? Requirements in a home Children 10+ No dogs No cats or other free roaming animals Can meet Luna and move to adoption quickly (within the next few weeks) Adoption fee is £350 If you can offer Luna a forever home then please contact

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a adult dachshund dog waiting at The Red Foundation in Pentlow Street.

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. The Red Foundation 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 — The Red Foundation 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 The Red Foundation 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.
