Adopt Luna

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Puppy · 11 months

As she is still young, she is looking for dedicated adopters that will put effort into her ongoing training. Luna has been showing some reactivity (being vocal) when out and about, but she is a very friendly and loving girl to the people she knows best. Our training team will offer plenty of support during the adoption process regarding Luna’s barking when out and about. Luna is housetrained, but she has been used to having company all day in her previous home. Therefore, it would be ideal if her adopter is able to spend plenty of time with her, but if she does need to be left alone for a few hours this should be built up gradually. This lovely girl is Luna! She is a 10 month old Jack Russell X Poodle and is full of energy. Luna is looking for a home where she is the only pet, and she can live with older children of 14+ as she has had experience around children before. Luna is still a pup, so will need plenty of stimulation throughout the day on walks and in the home through enrichment activities! She is a clever cookie who definitely has the potential to learn a lot. After spending the day being busy, Luna loves to cuddle up for some chill time with the people she knows best.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a puppy/kitten jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ballymena in Ballymena.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Dogs Trust Ballymena 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 — Dogs Trust Ballymena 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. 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 Dogs Trust Ballymena 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 (EN). 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.
