"LUNA" easy-going PITTIE/LAB/SHEPHERD? *Loves people* deserves better!!**"MCAS"

LUNA -   " I recently took Luna from Multnomah County Animal Services out for a day. She immediately jumped in my truck and made herself comfortable. 

We hiked around Mt. Tabor for an hour and a half, and she did beautifully - passing people, dogs,

 strollers, and stopping at the Visitor Center for a cookie. Afterwards, we made a stop at Meat for Cats and Dogs. There was one other dog in the store and I think she was way more interested in picking out a special treat than anything else. Last stop was a pup cup at Dutch Bros on Foster, where we parked and chilled in the parking lot while she took a quick snooze. 

Even though she is only about 4 years old, she's clearly had a rough life - a few litters of pups, and poor skin/coat care. She is great to walk on leash, she loves people, and snacks. She is up for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services  " Vanessa F
