My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Luna. I am a shy, petite, active six-year-old lady. My natural ears add character to my stunning personality. I have sad eyes and there is an untold story behind them. I weigh around 50 pounds but don’t let my size fool you; my bark is double my size!

I have to be honest and tell you that I have trust issues. When I meet new people, I am very shy. I may cower when you talk to me to protect myself from past memories. So, I may be a bit anxious when we meet. Likewise, initially I like to eat alone. However, once I warm up to you, I don’t mind company when eating. Once I know you are gentle hearted and patient, I am your best friend.

I keep myself busy during the day. I monitor the house from all sides and windows and will alert you to any pups walking the streets. Mostly though, I just enjoy looking out the window or sunbathing on the deck. I prefer to be your only pup but I am ok with other pups as companions, it may take three or four days before I decide to play with them.
I follow commands though sometimes unwillingly. I am a bit stubborn. You can always motivate me with treats! If I am scared though, I will cower and may leak on the floor. I am very healthy and prefer a harness to a neck collar. I am sensitive to the collar due to past "training" collar abuse. I like Vitamin E or Fish Oil tablets daily and putting coconut oil on my ears stops them from scabbing.

The thing I like most is consistency. Once I know the routine, I am very adaptable. I will stay in my room at night without a gate. I do prefer a room to the crate but I am crate trained and will go in it with a little persuasion. I will allow you to sleep in, within limits. I enjoy playing with my stuffed animal but I'm not too big on playing with a ball. I will steal the ball if my companion really likes it, though. I walk very well on a leash but when I see a four-legged cousin I will pull towards them and may act a fool. If I walk when there is little to no activity you will really enjoy the walk.

Luna needs a fenced-yard and a quiet home which also has no children under 15 regularly visiting.

So, do you think we can be friends?
