Luna

Hi! I’m Luna and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

Size: Medium
Weight: 17.2kg

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR LUNA
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/QT8QPi5rFQVqQgrA8

NOTE: You are unable to meet Luna until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Luna in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.


What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• Lots of love and attention
• I have previously lived with young children
• I enjoy the company of male dogs but am not very tolerant with other females
• I appeared scared of cats when meeting them at the shelter however once my confidence around them grows I might be more inquisitive. If going to a home with a cat they must be dog savvy and we must be introduced slowly.
• I LOVE water and would love to have my very own clam pool to laze around in.
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me as it appears I've led a very sheltered life and can be a bit nervous/shy in new situations. Since being at the shelter I'm becoming much braver though. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence


Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
• Small animals as I may find them fun to chase

My best features:
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• I can sit, shake hands
• I know my basic doggie commands
• I walk well on lead
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• Exuberant & full of beans
• I LOVE the water and will splash about in my water bowl, play with the hose and swim in the basin/river

Where I need to improve / Training required
• I love my food so using it as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I walk well on lead, unless I want to go in another direction, then I tend to pull harder.
