Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Moonlight, a bundle of curiosity and love waiting to bring joy to your home! As a foster, Moonlight has seamlessly integrated into a household with resident dogs, showcasing good interactions and an easy-going nature.
Moonlight's friendly demeanor extends beyond her canine companions; she shows kind curiosity towards other dogs during walks. Left alone, she maintains her calm, with no destructive behaviors, making her an ideal companion for families with varying schedules.
This sweet girl is house-trained, quickly adapting to a schedule, and even signaling when nature calls by quietly waiting by the door. Moonlight is currently receiving treatment for a rash, diligently taking allergy meds, a testament to her resilience and cooperative nature.
On walks, Moonlight's excitement shines through, matching her pace with a quick call back. She revels in short walks, chewing on toys or treats, and especially napping next to her human companions. While she may enjoy the occasional couch or bed adventure, she's learning to use her bed and is eager to be close to her people.
Described as curious, loving, and playful, Moonlight's ideal home would likely be an easy-going one with ample human presence. While she hasn't been around cats, her adaptable nature suggests a potential fit with other animals. If you're seeking a sweet and affectionate companion to brighten your home, Moonlight is ready to fill it with love and happiness.
