Please note that Luna would prefer to be an only spoilt dog.
Luna is sweetness personified. She is calm, loving, and incredibly affectionate with people. Comfortable being handled and happy to hop in the car for adventures, this snugglepot is also a world-class napper, content to sleep in her bed near you through the night and snooze in sunny spots throughout the day.
While Luna is definitely more couch potato than athlete, she does enjoy getting out for gentle walks and having a good sniff around. Her person simply needs to recognise when she's had enough and head home before she becomes overtired. She is happiest with leisurely strolls, plenty of naps, and lots of quality time with her humans.
One of Luna's most endearing traits is how devoted she is to her people. She loves to be close to her human, happily following them from room to room and soaking up every opportunity for affection and companionship.
Luna is housetrained and knows how to use a doggy door, provided it is at ground level. She already knows a range of basic commands, including come, sit, stay, no, go, and eat. Luna is extremely food-motivated, loves treats and anything food-related, and is eager to please, making her a delight to train. She is a very low-maintenance dog who thrives on positive reinforcement. She no longer has any skin issues, though she does benefit from a quick daily wipe of her skin folds and paws to keep her comfortable and healthy.
Luna is excellent with humans of all ages and has a calm, gentle nature. She would do best in a home where she has regular company, affection, cuddles, and plenty of cosy places to nap. She would prefer to be the only dog in the home, although she may also suit a household with a calm, older dog who will respect her space.
True to her breed, Luna will need access to climate-controlled indoor areas, particularly during hot weather.
If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, easy-going companion who will be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your biggest fan, Luna may just be the perfect addition to your family.
Please note: our dogs are not available for interstate adoption. We also do not adopt to people under the age of 25 years.

All our dogs are desexed, C5 vaccinated with intranasal, microchipped,
wormed, and flea treated. All necessary vetwork such as dentals,
surgery, eye treatment are also carried out. We are no longer heartworm
testing as we have not had one positive test since we began in 2006. If
a dog comes to us on heartworm treatment this is continued.
Medical notes
Weight: 11kg.
Luna has had a lot of issues. Her heart required a special operation where she needed to be sedated for a CT prior to her operation. Her ears caused her discomfort. She has been speyed- so no more puppies. She has a lump we still have to investigate and then she will be ready to bounce into her new home.
Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
