About

Meet Luna

Luna was brought to the shelter after her owner had passed away. Her life was turned upside down and she struggled to adjust after the loss of her owner. After being given some time, Luna began to open up and show everyone that she is a sweet, well-mannered and gentle girl. We do not know much about her previous home, but it was noted that Luna had only lived with a single person her entire life. Luna will do best in a home without small children as she has never lived with children and appreciates her space being respected! She has not lived with cats or other small animals but has been living with other dogs in her foster home. Here is what her foster family has to say:Luna is okay around my dogs now that she is used to them but can be possessive of her human and/or space at times and will occasionally let out a low growl when other animals come into it. She stops with a voice command. She'd be a perfect single pet for someone who wants a good companion and walking buddy. Luna walks amazing on a leash and when tired heels beautifully on her own and continues to trot along. She sits on command and typically comes when called. She does not dig or bark in the yard even when people walk by. When she sees animals (other dogs and we saw a moose) from the car she will bark. She rides in cars well and loves to sleep on her blanket on the couch. She hesitates if loading up into a vehicle with a drop-down closure (like a hatchback) but jumps right in to open vehicle doors otherwise. Luna initially howled and whined when left in her kennel but that has started to dissipate. The other day she went and took a short nap in her kennel on her own. She has not had a single accident inside the house or destroyed anything. She likes to be brushed and has not been bothered at all by any of the thunder noises we have had. Luna sleeps through the night out of her kennel with no issues. She likes her dog bed next to the human bed but stays on it soundly.Meeting other dogs has been fine on walks with positive introductions and keeping treats separated. We really want Luna to find a loving home that she is comfortable in. If you feel that your home would be a good fit for Luna, we would love for you to come and meet her! Please note that she is in a foster home and will need a scheduled visit!
