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.

Adopt Luna

Jack Russell Terrier · Female

Luna has not experienced much stability and security in her three years – and you can tell. Her last owners took her over in February from some ominous people and were then quite quickly overwhelmed without really engaging with the female dog. So, the female dog had another move – this time to the animal shelter. Luna is typically quite hectic and wild, which of course is also due to the stress in the animal shelter. She is just settling in and we are giving her all the time in the world. The former owners reported that she has barked at and even snapped at people. Luna is a dog for terrier enthusiasts who are familiar with the breed, can provide her with a lot of security, and can take the lead. She will definitely develop into a great female dog in the right hands, but that will take time. We think that a lot has gone wrong in her life. If you are interested in meeting Luna, please feel free to send us a detailed email.

Luna hat in ihren drei Jahren nicht viel Stabilität und Sicherheit erfahren – und das merkt man ihr leider an. Ihre letzten Besitzer haben sie im Februar von irgendwelchen ominösen Menschen übernommen und waren dann recht schnell überfordert, ohne sich wirklich mit der Hündin beschäftigt zu haben. So hat die Hündin einen erneuten Umzug mitgemacht – dieses Mal ins Tierheim. Luna ist terriertypisch recht hektisch und wild, was natürlich auch dem Stress im Tierheim geschuldet ist. Sie lebt sich gerade ein und wir lassen ihr alle Zeit der Welt. Die ehemaligen Besitzer berichteten, dass sie die Leute angebellt und auch geschnappt haben soll.Luna ist ein Hund für Terrierfreunde, die sich mit der Rasse auskennen, ihr viel Sicherheit geben und die Führung übernehmen können. Bestimmt wird sie sich in den richtigen Händen zu einer tollen Hündin entwickeln, aber das braucht Zeit. Wir denken, dass in ihrem Leben wirklich viel schiefgelaufen ist. Wenn Sie sich für ein Kennenlernen mit Luna interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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.
