Princesa Luna is a sweet and loving 2-year-old mixed breed dog looking for her forever home. Unfortunately, she’s being surrendered due to her owner’s upcoming move overseas. Luna has spent her life in a townhouse with three adults and has had a blast meeting children during playdates with friends. She loves the company of other dogs and is a playful spirit at heart! While she typically roams freely at home, she has experienced some separation anxiety, which is managed with crate time when her humans are away. Though Luna is a great companion, she can be a bit reactive on leash, barking and pulling towards other dogs and people. She’s currently working on this with the help of a trainer, and she knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” “come,” and “place.” Her best qualities shine through her sweet disposition, loving looks, and knack for cuddling. She also enjoys playing with her flirt pole and is always up for a game with her furry friends. While she has a few quirks, such as barking at the window and needing some guidance on her leash manners, she has never harmed anyone or any animals. Princesa Luna does have a skin condition and is currently on Prednisolone. This gentle soul has touched her owner`s life in ways that words can’t express, and now she’s ready to bring joy to a new family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart full of love, Princesa Luna could be the perfect addition to your home! Come meet her and see how she can brighten your days!

1 - Look at adoptable pets online, and when you see one you want to meet and possibly adopt, come into the shelter to visit with your prospective pet.
2 - Once at the shelter, walk through to see available pets and then visit with the one(s) you are considering adopting. A volunteer or staff member will facilitate the visit and tell you more about the pet you’re visiting.
3 - Once you decide that you would like to adopt, head to the main lobby to complete our brief adoption questionnaire and wait to speak with one of our adoption counselors to go over any questions you might have. We'll go over all of the available behavioral and medical history of the pet you want to adopt.
4 - Complete your adoption! Most pets can go home the day they are adopted, but some must be picked up one or two days later after their spay/neuter appointment.
Notes: 1) Some pets are in foster homes, and that is noted in their bio. If you are interested in a pet who is in a foster home, please email the shelter to arrange a visit. 2) Some special needs animals will be adopted on a best-fit basis, rather than the usual first-come-first-served.
