Luna

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 4 years

Luna Seeks German Shepherd Friends The female dog came to us with significant weight gain. She has lost weight well since she arrived. At first, Luna was very suspicious of us. Since she moved into an outdoor run, her behavior towards familiar people has settled down. German Shepherds are typically very watchful. We would like to place Luna on a property where she can decide whether she prefers to be inside or outside.

DE·Show original

Luna sucht Schäferhund-Freunde Die Hündin kam mit massiven Übergewicht zu uns. Sie hat in der Zeit, die sie bei uns ist, gut an Gewicht verloren. Anfangs war Luna sehr misstrauisch uns gegenüber. Seit sie bei uns einen Außenzwinger bewohnt, hat sich dieses Verhalten gegenüber vetrauten Personen gelegt. Schäferhund typisch ist sie sehr wachsam. Wir würden Luna gerne auf ein Grundstück vermitteln, wo sie selber entscheiden kann ob sie lieber drinnen oder draußen ist.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Mülheim in Mülheim.

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 Mülheim 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 Mülheim 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 Mülheim 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.
