Lunaris

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Our dear big one, Lunaris, has been at the animal shelter for a few months now and has been waiting just as long for "his" home. He came to us from Romania as a very shy, fearful dog and initially wanted no contact with us humans. But with a great deal of patience and love, he has made so much progress that you would no longer recognize the dog he used to be! He actually likes every person he meets, loves going for walks, walks well on the leash and sniffs a lot, and he also likes to make a detour into the field to roll around. He thinks that's really great, just like water he can swim in! Lunaris can be really funny; he gets along well with other dogs and prefers to avoid possible conflicts. He has no prey drive, and cats leave him cold. So he wouldn't mind a cat or a second dog in the household, but he would also be happy living alone with his family. He is simply a wonderful dog who has developed so well and now finally wants to move out. He would love a farm and/or a garden, because he enjoys relaxing and watching what goes on around him.

Unser lieber Großer, Lunaris, ist schon seit ein paar Monaten im Tierheim und sucht genau so lange „sein“ Zuhause. Er kam als sehr schüchterner, ängstlicher Hund aus Rumänien zu uns, wollte anfangs keinen Kontakt zu uns Menschen. Mit viel Geduld und Liebe hat er aber mittlerweile so viele Fortschritte gemacht, dass man in ihm den Hund von früher nicht mehr wiedererkennt! Er mag eigentlich jeden Menschen, liebt es, spazieren zu gehen, läuft gut an der Leine und schnuppert viel, macht auch gerne mal einen Abstecher ins Feld, um sich zu wälzen. Das findet er richtig gut, genauso wie Wasser, in dem er schwimmen kann! Lunaris kann richtig lustig sein; er ist mit anderen Hunden gut verträglich; möglichen Konflikten geht er lieber aus dem Weg. Er hat keinen Jagdtrieb, auch Katzen lassen ihn kalt. Er hätte also nichts gegen eine Katze oder einen zweiten Hund im Haushalt, würde aber auch allein mit seiner Familie glücklich sein. Er ist einfach ein toller Hund, der sich so gut entwickelt hat und jetzt endlich ausziehen möchte. Einen Hof oder/und einen Garten würde er lieben, denn er chillt gern und beobachtet, was um ihn herum vorgeht. Kontakt Tierschutzverein Katzenhilfe e.V.

About Lunaris

What life with Lunaris looks like

Lunaris is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Bettikum in Bettikum.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lunaris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lunaris?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Bettikum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lunaris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lunaris if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Bettikum 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 Lunaris 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 Lunaris 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 Bettikum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lunaris 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.
