Luna

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 6 years

Story: Luna was discovered in the forest with her 8 puppies by a man who worked there. He looked after the dog family every day and provided them with food and water. Since he did not know what should happen to the dogs next, he asked our partner organization APAC for help. The family then moved into APAC's animal shelter. In the meantime, we were able to rehome three of the dogs, but Luna and the others are still waiting for a suitable home or a loving foster placement. Behavior: Luna is a friendly female dog who approaches people openly. She enjoys attention and really loves being petted. She has lovingly cared for her puppies, who are now old enough that it is Luna's turn to finally receive love and care herself. Luna enjoys going on walks and exploring her surroundings. So far she has had no problems with other dogs and gets along well with all of them. Needs: For Luna we wish for a loving home where she can first settle in completely calmly and get used to her new surroundings, with people who will patiently help her get to know life in Germany and teach her everything a family dog should know. Her new home should preferably be in a rural location; a fenced-in garden would also be wonderful for her. Any children already living in the household should be older.

Geschichte: Luna wurde mit ihren 8 Welpen von einem Mann im Wald entdeckt, der dort arbeite. Er kümmerte sich täglich um die Hundefamilie und versorgte sie mit Futter und Wasser. Da er nicht wusste, wie es mit den Hunden weitergehen sollte, bat er unsere Partnerorganisation APAC um Hilfe. So zog die Familie ins Tierheim von APAC. In der Zwischenzeit konnten wir drei der Hunde vermitteln, aber Luna und die anderen warten weiterhin auf ein passendes Zuhause oder eine liebevolle Pflegestelle. Verhalten: Luna ist eine freundliche Hündin, die aufgeschlossen auf Menschen zu geht. Sie freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit und genießt die Streicheleinheiten sehr. Sie hat sich liebevoll um ihre Welpen gekümmert, die mittlerweile alt genug sind, damit nun auch Luna an der Reihe sein kann und endlich Liebe und Fürsorge zu spüren bekommen soll. Luna geht gerne spazieren und erkundet dabei die Umgebung. Mit anderen Hunden hat sie bisher keinerlei Probleme und versteht sich mit allen gut. Bedürfnisse: Für Luna wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie erst einmal ganz in Ruhe ankommen und sich einleben kann. Mit Menschen, die ihr geduldig das Leben in Deutschland näher bringen und ihr alles beibringen, was sie als Familienhund kennen sollte. Ihr neues Zuhause sollte eher ländlich gelegen sein, auch ein eingezäunter Garten wäre schön für sie. Vorhandene Kinder im Haushalt sollten bereits im älter sein.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. 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 — Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. 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 Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. 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.
