Luna

🐾 Meet Luna – Your Sweet, Beautiful Shadow 🐾

Luna is a truly lovely girl who adores people and thrives on attention, affection and being part of everyday life. She makes friends wherever she goes, happily greeting people out on walks and soaking up all the pats on offer. She has a particularly sweet habit of bringing you little “gifts” — favourite toys, bits of wood or whatever treasure she happens to find. Her foster carer describes her as one of those really special dogs who just wants to be loved, and it’s easy to see why!

Luna is a gentle, affectionate companion who loves being near her person. She’ll happily follow you wherever you go, curl up beside you on the couch or bed, and snooze the day away within smelling distance. She’s well toilet trained, has lovely house manners and isn’t destructive. She enjoys two or three walks a day but isn’t a particularly energetic girl, preferring to spend much of the rest of her time relaxing. She also loves a game of fetch, a bit of tug-of-war, plush toys and a splash at the beach or river. She travels well in the car, enjoys her baths and responds to familiar cues including sit, wait and go.

Luna is friendly with adults, children and other dogs. She has been gentle with young children, including infant grandchildren, and is happiest when she has company. She walks beautifully on and off lead and generally enjoys meeting other dogs, although she may need a little guidance to learn to play gently. New environments can take some getting used to — busy city traffic, crowds and cafes can be overwhelming at first, but she gains confidence when her person is nearby. She can also be nervous around passing cars.

One important thing to know about Luna is that she struggles with being left alone. Although her previous owner reported she could manage around six hours, her foster carer has found that she can panic when left by herself. She copes better when another dog is with her, managing around four hours in that situation, but this isn't ideal for her. Luna needs a home where someone is around for most of the day, such as a work-from-home household, ideally with another friendly dog for company. She loves routine and being included, and will reward that commitment with an enormous amount of affection.

Luna hasn't been tested with cats, so her compatibility with them is unknown. She does enjoy chasing birds.

Beautiful inside and out, Luna has so much love to give. If you're looking for a gentle, people-focused companion who will happily join you for outings before curling up beside you for a nap, Luna could be your girl. She deserves a home where she feels safe, loved and, most importantly, never lonely.
