Today is Saturday, which is the hardest day for crossword puzzles. We struggle with the Monday puzzle, to be fair. But you know who would be great at crosswords (if she could hold a pencil)? Luna, our 9 year old 55 pound Pitbull. She LOVES puzzles. And, since Luna is so smart, she'd probably know the answer to the clue "instrument that might contain dried beans". It's a maraca, she'd shout, as she'd shake her stuffy to demonstrate. What's a 5 letter word that means "find what you've been missing?" ADOPT, obviously!

Luna was surrendered to a shelter when her owner could no longer care for her. We were asked to help as Luna suffers from allergies and her skin had been neglected for years. It's been weeks, but after the right medications and several baths, Luna's hair has grown back and her skin looks great! Allergies are life long, so Luna's adopter will have to commit to maintaining her skin. This could mean a hypoallergenic diet or keeping her on allergy medications. It's often trial and error. But, our sweet Luna is worth all the upkeep.

Luna approaches everything with gentle curiosity. She doesn't have an obvious prey drive and just studies the birds and squirrels in the yard. We have not seen Luna with cats, but suspect she'd just be interested in what they were up to. Luna is great with other dogs, large and small, and is not leash reactive. Friendly to everyone, Luna has been sweet with older kids that she's met. Besides puzzles, Luna loves car rides, cuddles, stuffies, and walking. She is good when left alone (after some initial complaints, she's gotten the hang of it) and is potty trained. Luna is happy to hang out with her people at bar patios and will charm all the other patrons.

Luna is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. She is currently on Apoquel, an allergy medication, and we will send her adopter with some to get started. If she has to stay on this, it could run about 150 dollars a month.

Rapper whose #1 hit 'Timber' featured Ke$ha? Pitbull of course. The answer to everything!
