Luna

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Die 10 jährige pekinesen Mix Hündin Luna hat ihr geliebtes Zuhause verloren, da ihre Besitzerin durch eine sehr schwere Erkranung nicht mehr in der Lage war sie zu versorgen. Solche Schicksalsschläge sind immer besonders traurig mitanzusehen - auch Luna versteht die Welt nicht mehr. Schon bei der Abholung fiel uns auf, dass Luna starke Schmerzen im Bewegungsapparat aufweist. Jeder Schritt belastet sie, die Rute steht nur noch steif auf einer Seite - ein Wedeln ist nicht mehr möglich, der Kot- und Harnabsatz ist nur unter starken Schmerzen und im Stehen möglich. Die Vorbesitzerin war bereits beim Tierarzt mit ihr, aber wir waren mit ihr beim Röntgen und CT, um der Ursache auf den Grund zu gehen. Beim Röntgen wurde festgestellt, dass sie unter einer Spondylarthrose leidet und das CT hat ergeben das sie einen Bandscheibenvorfall hat der leider nicht operabel ist. Sie bekommt nun eine Schmerztherapie und Physiotherapie.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz aktiv Kärnten in Tierschutz Kaernten.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

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. Tierschutz aktiv Kärnten 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 — Tierschutz aktiv Kärnten 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 Tierschutz aktiv Kärnten 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.
