Luna

Labrador Retriever · Female · Senior · 14 years

Hallo, ich bin Luna. Ich bin eine freundliche Hündin, die in manchen Situationen noch etwas unsicher ist. Unbekannte Menschen, neue Umgebungen oder ungewohnte Situationen können mich zunächst verunsichern. Mit Ruhe, Geduld und einem verständnisvollen Umgang finde ich jedoch zunehmend Sicherheit und kann mich Schritt für Schritt öffnen. Ich bin im Tierheim gelandet, da mein Herrchen sein Zuhause verloren hat. Für meinen weiteren Lebensweg wünsche ich mir ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die mir die Zeit geben, die ich brauche. Ein geregelter Alltag, feste Abläufe und geduldige Bezugspersonen würden mir helfen, Vertrauen zu fassen und mich gut einzuleben. Wichtig ist, dass meine zukünftigen Menschen meine Signale ernst nehmen und mir Sicherheit geben, ohne mich zu überfordern. Auch gesundheitlich gibt es bei mir derzeit einige Baustellen, die noch gründlich abgeklärt werden. Daher sollten meine zukünftigen Menschen Verständnis dafür haben, dass möglicherweise weitere Untersuchungen oder eine Behandlung notwendig sein können. Sobald genauere Erkenntnisse vorliegen, informieren wir natürlich transparent darüber. Ich suche Menschen, die mich auf meinem Weg begleiten und mir zeigen, dass ich mich auf sie verlassen kann. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Luna interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Luna. Natürlich freut sich Luna auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

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. 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. Tierheim Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe 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.
