Luna

Female · Adult · 4 years

Luna is a lovely dog who may be a bit shy at first. She needs time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, she's all love and cuddles. She loves walks and can walk nicely on a leash, always eager to explore. She gets along with other dogs, but it depends on whether she likes them. Sometimes she gets a bit overexcited when meeting other dogs on a leash, which might be a sign of her protective instincts. She needs some practice in these situations. She's looking for a home where she'll feel safe, where people understand her initial shyness, and where she can learn that she doesn't have to do everything on her own. If you give her this time, she'll be an incredibly loving and affectionate companion.

Hallo, ich bin Luna und vielleicht suche ich genau dich! Auf den ersten Blick bin ich vielleicht noch ein bisschen zurückhaltend. Bei fremden Menschen brauche ich einen Moment, um herauszufinden, ob wir uns sympathisch sind. Aber wenn ich erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst habe, zeige ich meine richtig liebevolle Seite. Dann wird gekuschelt, geschmust und am liebsten ganz viel Zeit miteinander verbracht. Ich bin außerdem eine ziemlich motivierte Begleiterin! Spaziergänge finde ich richtig toll und an der Leine kann ich schon brav gehen. Dabei gibt es für mich jede Menge zu entdecken. Mit anderen Hunden kann ich grundsätzlich etwas anfangen, allerdings entscheidet bei mir die Sympathie. Bei Begegnungen an der Leine reagiere ich manchmal etwas aufgeregt. Vielleicht steckt dahinter auch ein kleiner Beschützerinstinkt, denn meine Menschen sind mir wichtig. Hier sollten wir gemeinsam noch ein bisschen üben. In solchen Situationen kann ich nämlich auch schon einmal über meine Grenzen hinausschießen. Für mein neues Zuhause wünsche ich mir Menschen, die mir Sicherheit geben, meine anfängliche Zurückhaltung verstehen und mir mit Geduld zeigen, dass ich nicht alles selbst regeln muss. Wer mir diese Zeit schenkt, bekommt eine unglaublich liebe und verschmuste Gefährtin.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a small adult dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

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 Arche Noah 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 Arche Noah 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Arche Noah 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.
