About Luna ~ 5yr Old German Shepherd - adopted 2/1/23
Introducing the magnificent Luna! At 24kgs and 5 years young, Luna is a friendly and affectionate Shepherd X Kelpie looking for her forever home.
Personality plus! Luna is full of love and enjoys being around her family. She is friendly and welcoming to visitors and will snuggle up to everyone for pats and cuddles. She loves to go on walks, play in the backyard with kids and watch while you hang out laundry or do gardening. Luna is dog friendly and loves to run and play with all the furry friends she comes across. She loves to be active and is a delightful companion on walks and adventures.
Training: Luna is food motivated and can sit on command. She has been learning other basic training skills like stay and lay down. She is placid whilst eating and is gentle when taking treats from your hand. Luna loves kids and has been happily playing with her carer’s children who are 13, 9 and 8. She can be jumpy, but is working on sitting when she gets the excited urge to jump. Luna is great on the leash when walking and has been working on sitting and looking both ways before she crosses. With training, Luna would love to be off leash to play fetch or have a run on the beach. She has a tendency to try and steal food in the house, so setting boundaries for meal times is key. She has shown signs of being fearful of storms and loud noises, so strategies to help her manage that are required.
Perfect home… A perfect home for Luna will be somewhere her ongoing training and exercise is a priority as she loves to be stimulated.
She needs company and doesn’t like to be separated from her people, so will need secure fencing or a dog sibling for company.
Luna could benefit from crate training also as she is fine when left alone inside for short periods, and sleeps a lot of the day after her morning walk.
She will need room to roam and high fencing, 2m colourbond or similar. Luna loves car rides and is very well behaved and relaxed in the car. She is a lovely companion who would suit an active family who want a shadow by their side.
Luna is a placid, warm and gentle girl who loves a good snuggle. She is especially ‘putty in your hands’ with a good tummy rub! She is a sweet and loveable girl and would be a welcome addition to many homes.
If you would like to know more or would like to meet Luna, why not send through an enquiry.
