Adopt Luna

Podenco · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Hello… I am Luna, a little Podenco puppy just starting her life and needing to find a home as soon as possible. I am very small: I am not even 5 kilos now, and when I am grown, I will not exceed 10. I will be a light, manageable, and loving little dog. I have not been lucky enough to be cared for as I deserve, but I am still a good, sweet, and trusting little dog. I just want a place where I can feel safe, where I am loved, and where I can grow up calmly. I have my whole life ahead of me and many eager moments to learn, play, and become part of a real family. I am sociable, I love being accompanied, and I have that special Podenco hound character: sensitive, noble, and with a huge heart for whoever gives me a chance. I am ready to start my story in a real home. I am Luna… and all I need is for someone to look at me and say: “come with me, little one.” For more information on adoptions:

Hola… yo soy Luna, una cachorrita podenca que está empezando en la vida y que necesita encontrar un hogar cuanto antes. Soy muy pequeñita: ahora no llego ni a los 5 kilos, y cuando sea adulta no superaré los 10. Seré una perrita ligera, manejable y llena de cariño. No he tenido la suerte de que me cuiden como merezco, pero aun así sigo siendo una perrita buena, dulce y confiada. Solo quiero un sitio donde sentirme segura, donde me quieran y donde pueda crecer tranquila. Tengo toda la vida por delante y muchas ganas de aprender, jugar y formar parte de una familia de verdad. Soy sociable, me encanta estar acompañada y tengo ese carácter podenco tan especial: sensible, noble y con un corazón enorme para quien me dé una oportunidad. Estoy lista para empezar mi historia en un hogar de verdad. Soy Luna… y solo necesito que alguien me mire y diga: “ven conmigo, pequeña” Para más información sobre adopciones:

About Luna

What life with Luna looks like

Luna is a puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at Animales Rioja in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

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. Animales Rioja 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 — Animales Rioja 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 Animales Rioja 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 (ES). 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.
