Luna

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Luna (born 15.04.2017) came to the animal shelter as an abandon dog. Originally, she was taken in by her family from an international animal welfare organization. Her owner passed away, and the remaining man could no longer properly care for her due to a complete change in his living circumstances. We have come to know Luna as a very sensitive female dog who does not immediately trust people. If one is too forward, too loud, or physically intrusive, Luna will take flight and retreat into her snail's shell. For this sensitive female dog, one needs a delicate touch and must allow her to set her own pace; then she will open her heart to you, and during the greeting, the entire dog will wag with joy. We are still in the getting-to-know-you phase with Luna, and we are pleased that she is becoming braver. We are looking forward to what this nice girl will reveal about herself.

Luna (geb. 15.04.2017) kam als Abgabehund ins Tierheim. Von ihrer Familie wurde sie ursprünglich von einem Auslandstierschutz übernommen. Ihre Halterin verstarb und der hinterbliebene Mann konnte aufgrund einer gesammten Änderung der Lebensumstände sich nicht mehr richtig um sie kümmern. Wir konnten Luna bisher als sehr sensible Hündin kennen lernen, die einem nicht sofort ihr Vertrauen schenkt. Ist man zu forsch, zu laut und körperlich zu aufdringlich – dann ergreift Luna die Flucht und zieht sich in ihr Schneckenhaus zurück. Für diese sensible Hündin braucht man Feingefühl und muss sie ihr Tempo bestimmen lassen, dann schenkt sie einem ihr Herz und dann wackelt bei der Begrüßung auch der ganze Hund vor Freude. Wir sind auch bei Luna noch in der Kennenlernphase, freuen uns dass sie immer mutiger wird und sind gespannt was das nette Mädel noch so alles von sich preisgeben wird.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Lahr in Lahr.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Lahr 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 Lahr 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 Lahr 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.
