File #23-044 Current Foster Location: North Augusta, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Please note that Luna is medicated for her anxiety, and this will need to continue after adoption. Hi! My name is Luna, affectionately known by those around me as Looney Tunes. I am 3 parts quiet graceful lady 1 part Tasmanian devil. Im told having me around is like having a gentle deer in the house, but when I am really excited I will jump and spin around and with those greyhound genes I sure love to run (and I am fast!). I am told I am very beautiful and lots of people will love me, but I do have some specific needs that will need to be met in my forever home. I have some abandonment trauma and some resulting anxiety with that, especially when it comes to being alone. I have been working really hard with my foster mama and have made excellent progress on my home alone training, but in a new setting with new people I will need you to be patient with me and help me get comfortable with that in your (our!) home. I am on medication for my anxiety- it helps keep my brain at a calm enough level that I can learn that I am okay when I have to deal with things that make me nervous. I love to play and run around with other dogs outside, but I am a little more particular inside. I like my space! I will play, on my terms. To be honest though, I would much rather play with you. I am told that I am a people dog. If I have the choice between playing with you or playing with another dog, I will choose you. I would rather play tug and chase with you, even fetch! That said, I do love to run around outside with my foster brother or with the other dogs at daycare when I get to go there. I love daycare! Inside though, I am a couch potato 90% of the day. I need to get a lot of sleep to run as fast as I do! I like a calm atmosphere, and another dog trying to get in my space gets in the way of my zen. I can live with another dog, but be prepared for my grouchy husky complaints if they bother me. I like older and calmer dogs best. More than anything though, I just want to spend time with you. Im a great cuddler. I am an excellent car companion and will happily travel everywhere with you if you will take me. I would love to have a backyard to run around and get my crazies out so I can be a perfect lady for you indoors. I have quite the goofy side and I have been known to sing my husky song, mostly when my brother is being annoying, but most of the time Im a pretty chill gal and Im hoping for a home that is chill like me. Dont get me wrong though, I am down for all the adventures. Even if I am a bit unsure I am always excited to do things with my people. I am very well trained and I am very, very smart. I just want to love you and make you happy. If you want to love me forever please just promise to keep up with all the hard work the rescue has put into me. I am such a good girl. Perfect, Im told, when you look past the anxiety. I just need the perfect family to help me thrive for the rest of forever.
