Here's what the humans have to say about me:
A19873 Luna is a brown and white, 9-year-old, 60-pound, spayed female, Labrador Pitbull mix. She was surrendered by her owner for not getting along with other dogs. Luna has been in foster care with a volunteer and we a great update on her behavior. Her foster mom says the following about Luna:
Luna is absolutely a joy to handle and play with.
Although she is technically a senior dog, she is full of energy and loves her walks/ adventures, errands to the garden center, or a simple car ride through the drive-thru.
She loves her car rides and will gladly join you wherever you go.
She settles down easily once home and is a very quiet girl (rarely if ever barks when indoors).
She loves meeting new people, big or small. She is quite the loving girl.
She has no food aggression (small or big hands are welcome in her food bowl)
She is very easy to give medication or supplements (currently taking joint supplements), no fuss at all.
She is fully potty trained and will whine when she is ready to be let out.
She is not fond of bath time or nail trimmings but we're working on it.
She is very easy to leash and walk. She loves long albeit slow walks, enjoys people watching, and sniffing everything.
In terms of other dog/ animal reactivity:
She does whine when she sees or hears a dog, slightly pulling towards them. At this time we're working on her staying fully calm.
On the other hand, we have gone on walks with neighbors with dogs (you'll see a picture of a small neighbor dog), as long as she's on a walk and her energy is mostly drained she can be very calm, so this is a big step in the right direction to keeping her calm around other dogs.
