Luna

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Gentle canine soul & loyal companion in a compact package of happiness 🍀 LUNA—loving dog mom and gentle companion in a petite size—is searching for her forever home. This sweet-as-sugar pup has already endured incredible hardships in her past, yet once again, she shows us just how strong a dog mom’s heart can be. At around 3 years old, this little lady is at the perfect age. She was rescued from a kill shelter while highly pregnant and brought to safety. There, Luna gave birth to six puppies—but fate was cruel: five of her pups were too weak and didn’t survive. Only her little son Samu made it through. After all the worry about her babies and the tough battle for survival, Luna more than deserves to finally take center stage in life herself and find her place as a cherished family member. Standing just about 35 cm tall at the shoulder, Luna is one of those tiny, wonderfully manageable dogs that you can easily take anywhere. At first glance, she captivates with her thick, fluffy black coat and her beautiful, warm brown eyes that radiate an extraordinary gentleness. Despite her difficult start in life, she looks out into the world with friendliness and hope. In terms of character, this little dream dog is simply adorable. She consistently shows herself to be friendly, open-minded, and deeply attuned to people. She visibly enjoys every little cuddle and bit of affection. Luna is also absolutely social and well-behaved when it comes to interacting with other dogs—she fits harmoniously into any pack and never seeks conflict. Of course, this little lady still needs to learn about life indoors, house training, and the basics of doggy etiquette. But we’re confident that with plenty of love, patience, and positive reinforcement, this smart and grateful pup will quickly grasp everything important. Who will give this brave little mom the safe, loving home she’s been longing for so long? Very friendly, gentle, and cuddly ✓ Open to joining another dog ✓ Prefers living in a rural setting—no small children in the household—no urban environment We rescued LUNA from the Daeni kill shelter in spring 2026. Shortly after her rescue, it became clear that she was already in an advanced stage of pregnancy. Of her six puppies, only SAMU survived. Help Luna find a home—share this with your friends ❤️

Sanfte Hundeseele & treue Partnerin im kompakten Glücksformat 🍀 LUNA – Liebevolle Hundemama und sanfte Begleiterin im Kleinformat sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Die zuckersüße Hündin Luna hat in ihrer Vergangenheit bereits Unglaubliches leisten müssen und zeigt uns Menschen wieder einmal, wie stark das Herz einer Hundemama ist. Mit ihren geschätzten 3 Jahren befindet sich die kleine Lady im allerbesten Alter. Sie wurde hochträchtig aus einer Tötungsstation gerettet und in Sicherheit gebracht. Luna brachte dort sechs Welpen zur Welt, doch das Schicksal war grausam – fünf ihrer Hundekinder waren zu schwach und überlebten nicht. Einzig ihr kleiner Sohn Samu hat es geschafft. Nach all den Sorgen um ihre Babys und dem harten Überlebenskampf hat Luna es nun mehr als verdient, endlich selbst die Hauptrolle im Leben zu spielen und als geliebtes Familienmitglied anzukommen. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von gerade einmal rund 35 cm gehört Luna zu den kleinen, wunderbar handlichen Hunden, die man überall problemlos mitnehmen kann. Sie verzaubert auf den ersten Blick mit ihrem dichten, wuscheligen schwarzen Fell und ihren wunderschönen, warmen braunen Augen, die eine ganz besondere Sanftmut ausstrahlen. Trotz ihres schweren Starts blickt sie freundlich und voller Hoffnung in die Welt. Charakterlich ist die kleine Traumhündin einfach nur liebenswert. Sie zeigt sich als durchweg freundlich, aufgeschlossen und dem Menschen sehr zugewandt. Jede kleine Streicheleinheit und Zuwendung genießt sie sichtlich. Auch im Umgang mit ihren Artgenossen ist Luna absolut sozial und verträglich – sie fügt sich harmonisch in die Gruppe ein und sucht keinen Streit. Das Leben im Haus, die Stubenreinheit und das kleine Hunde-Einmaleins muss die kleine Maus natürlich noch lernen. Wir sind uns aber sicher, dass die kluge und dankbare Hündin mit einer großen Portion Liebe, Geduld und positiver Verstärkung schnell alles Wichtige begreifen wird. Wer schenkt dieser tapferen kleinen Mama das behütete Körbchen, das sie schon so lange verdient hat? Sehr freundlich, sanftmütig, verschmust ✓ Gerne zu einem weiteren Hund ✓ Möchte ländlich leben - Keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt - Kein städtisches Umfeld LUNA haben wir im Frühjahr 2026 aus der Tötung Daeni gerettet. Nach kurzer Zeit stellte sich heraus, dass sie bereits im fortgeschrittenem Stadium trächtig war. Von ihren sechs Welpen hat nur SAMU überlebt. Hilf Luna, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

An young 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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.
