Luna

We currently have a Luna at three of our four Homes around the state. Somebody needs to take this Luna aside and explain to her that she doesn’t need to use quite as much eyeliner as she thinks she does. And at the risk of sounding like somebody’s mother, she’s too pretty to be wearing heavy makeup.

She’s what staff describe as a “petite” Beagle-Spaniel x. “Luna enjoys wrapping herself up in her blankets and snuggling with soft toys,” they say. Awww. “She is interested in chasing the ball but doesn’t return it.” This is a common canine problem.

As a mix of two brainy breeds known for their powers of escapology, Luna will need secure fencing to keep her safely at home. She needs to go to a place with kids aged at least 12 years old. We strongly recommend a home with another dog to keep her company.

Please ensure the below information, including the ‘please note’ section, is read in full if you are interested in viewing, meeting or adopting Luna.

Tasmanian dogs need you

Dogs’ Homes of Tasmania receives no government funding. Dogs like Luna get their second chance because somebody like you donated.

Even a $5 donation today can help save the next life. We wouldn’t be here for Tassie dogs without the generosity of our donors.

For the next 48 hours, a generous Tasmanian donor will MATCH every donation — dollar for dollar — up to $50,000. Please, dogs like Luna are relying on you.

If you are interested in a dog, please make a booking to visit the Home where that dog is located. We can’t guarantee that a particular dog will still be available at the time of your visit, as adoptions occur throughout the day. Our team updates the website as quickly as possible.

Your booking is simply an allocated time to view all of the dogs, and it allows us to ensure staff are available should you wish to have a meet and greet with a particular dog.

Please remember that if you are interested in adopting on the day, all household members — including any existing dogs — must attend the appointment. It’s vital that the dog meets everyone and gets along with them, and that the whole household is ready to welcome a new family member.

Please note:
• Rental agreements allowing dogs will be required for adoption into rental properties.
• Before adopting a dog, all members of your household must attend a meet and greet with the dog (including small children and existing dogs).
• Whilst the website is live and updates frequently, there is a chance that when you arrive a dog may already have been adopted by some-one else. Sorry, but we cannot put dogs on hold over the phone. You need to meet them first so that we can ensure a suitable match.
• While our Homes are open, not every dog available for adoption will be onsite and available in person. You will notice some dogs are listed as ‘foster care’. This means that they are offsite with one of our amazing foster carers. If you are interested in this dog, please contact the Home directly to discuss suitability and a possible meet.
