Adopt Luna

Rottweiler · Female · Adult · 7 years

Luna was dropped off at our shelter because her owner passed away. The female dog is initially a bit reserved but warms up when she gains trust and then becomes quite cuddly. She occasionally barks at the leash, which we still need to work on. Overall, she is well-behaved and knows the basic commands. We are just getting to know Luna and will add more details as we discover them. She is, however, a loving, big lady. If you are interested in meeting Luna, please feel free to send us a detailed email. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Read original (de)

Luna wurde bei uns abgegeben, weil ihre Besitzerin verstorben ist. Die Hündin ist anfangs etwas zurückhaltend, taut aber auf, wenn sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, und wird dann auch verschmust. An der Leine pöbelt sie gelegentlich, daran müsste man noch etwas arbeiten. Grundsätzlich ist sie gut erzogen und kennt die Grundkommandos. Wir lernen Luna gerade erst kennen und werden den Text ergänzen, wenn wir mehr Seiten an ihr entdecken. Grundsätzlich ist sie aber eine liebe, große Lady. Bitte beachten Sie die besonderen Auflagen zur Haltung eines Rottweilers. Wenn Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen mit Luna interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche Mail.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a large adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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. Tierheim Bergheim 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 Bergheim 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 Bergheim 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.
