Luna

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Luna (ex-Connie, she didn't like it!), 8 months old 🆘 Urgent foster care or adoption needed Luna was born with a rare neurological condition called lissencephaly. Simply put, her brain developed differently than most dogs. When we learned about her diagnosis, we were afraid. We read about possible seizures, difficulties in training, disorientation and behaviors that could make her life difficult. But Luna had other plans. After a huge battle of people who stood by her side from the beginning but also hers, today she is an 8-month-old happy puppy who plays with other dogs, enjoys people, goes for walks and learns new things every day! She receives her care and her condition is stable. In fact, she has made huge progress lately and has started to do her needs outside, like all the puppies of her age. 💛Yes, she needs a little more understanding. Yes, maybe she learns at her own pace. But Luna doesn't wake up every morning thinking about her diagnosis. She wakes up thinking about going for a walk, playing and LOTS of treats and hugs! What makes us sad is that many times animals with some peculiarity are left behind. Not because they can't love or be loved, but because the world is afraid of what it doesn't know. Luna doesn't need pity. She needs an opportunity. A person who will see beyond a diagnosis and get to know the wonderful creature hiding behind it. 📩We are URGENTLY looking for foster care or, ideally, her forever home... Because an animal's peculiarity should not be a reason for exclusion. It should be a reason to get to know them better. ❤️If you are interested in adoption or fostering please fill out our form:👉 Thank you!

🐾 Luna (ex-Connie, δεν της άρεσε!), 8 μηνών 🆘 Επείγει φιλοξενία ή υιοθεσία Η Luna γεννήθηκε με μια σπάνια νευρολογική ιδιαιτερότητα που λέγεται λειεγκεφαλία. Με απλά λόγια, ο εγκέφαλός της αναπτύχθηκε διαφορετικά από των περισσότερων σκύλων. Όταν μάθαμε τη διάγνωσή της, φοβηθήκαμε. Διαβάσαμε για πιθανές κρίσεις, δυσκολίες στην εκπαίδευση, αποπροσανατολισμό και συμπεριφορές που θα μπορούσαν να κάνουν τη ζωή της δύσκολη. Η Luna όμως είχε άλλα σχέδια. Μετά από τεράστια μάχη των ανθρώπων που στάθηκαν από νωρίς στο πλευρό της αλλά και δική της, σήμερα είναι ένα χαρούμενο κουτάβι 8 μηνών που παίζει με άλλα σκυλιά, χαίρεται τους ανθρώπους, βγαίνει βόλτες και μαθαίνει καθημερινά καινούργια πράγματα! Λαμβάνει την αγωγή της και η κατάστασή της είναι σταθερή. Μάλιστα, το τελευταίο διάστημα έχει κάνει τεράστια πρόοδο και έχει αρχίσει να κάνει τις ανάγκες της και έξω, όπως όλα τα σκυλάκια της ηλικίας της. 💛Ναι, χρειάζεται λίγη περισσότερη κατανόηση. Ναι, ίσως μαθαίνει με τον δικό της ρυθμό. Αλλά η Luna δεν ξυπνάει κάθε πρωί σκεπτόμενη τη διάγνωσή της. Ξυπνάει σκεπτόμενη βόλτα, παιχνίδι και ΠΟΛΛΕΣ λιχουδιές και αγκαλιές! Αυτό που μας στεναχωρεί είναι ότι πολλές φορές τα ζώα με κάποια ιδιαιτερότητα μένουν πίσω. Όχι επειδή δεν μπορούν να αγαπήσουν ή να αγαπηθούν, αλλά επειδή ο κόσμος φοβάται αυτό που δεν γνωρίζει. Η Luna δεν χρειάζεται λύπηση. Χρειάζεται μια ευκαιρία. Έναν άνθρωπο που θα δει πέρα από μια διάγνωση και θα γνωρίσει το υπέροχο πλάσμα που κρύβεται πίσω από αυτήν. 📩 Αναζητούμε ΕΠΕΙΓΟΝΤΩΣ φιλοξενία ή, ιδανικά, το παντοτινό της σπίτι... Γιατί η ιδιαιτερότητα ενός ζώου δεν πρέπει να είναι λόγος αποκλεισμού. Πρέπει να είναι ένας λόγος να το γνωρίσουμε λίγο καλύτερα. ❤️ Αν ενδιαφέρεστε για υιοθεσία ή φιλοξενία παρακαλώ συμπληρώστε μας την φόρμα/ If you are interested in adoption or fostering please fill in our form : 👉 Ευχαριστούμε !

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

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 Voice 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 Voice 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 Dogs Voice 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 (EL). 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.
