Adopt Luna

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Luna was brought to us because the living conditions of her owners have changed, and she would have been alone for too long. She is an insecure dog and needs confident people who can provide her with the necessary security. She can get along well with no strangers or children at all. At first, she needs some time to warm up to new people, but then she loves her trusted people deeply and passionately. A chaotic, loud household would not be suitable for her. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Read original (de)

Luna wurde bei uns abgegeben, da sich die Lebensumstände ihrer Halter geändert haben und sie so zu lange allein gewesen wäre. Sie ist ein eher unsicherer Hund und benötigt souveräne Menschen die ihr die nötige Sicherheit vermitteln. Auf fremde Menschen oder gar Kinder kann sie gut und gerne verzichten. Anfangs benötigt sie etwas Zeit um mit fremden Menschen warm zu werden, dann liebt sie ihre Bezugspersonen heiß und innig. Ein trubeliger, lauter Haushalt wäre daher nichts für sie.

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bochum in Bochum.

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. 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. Tierheim Bochum 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 Bochum 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 Tierheim Bochum 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.
