Adoption Profile: Meet Luna, the Vocal Lovebug! 🎀
A "Spicy" Sweetheart
Luna is a unique soul who wears her heart-and her voice-on her sleeve.
To know Luna is to understand that she is a "conversation starter." She
is a world-class cuddler who will crawl right into your lap for
affection, but she has a very specific way of saying "I love you": she
growls while she's being snuggled! While it might be off-putting to
some, her foster family has learned that this is just "Luna being Luna."
If you stop petting her while she's rumbling, she'll immediately paw at
you or nuzzle your hand for more. She isn't being mean; she's just very
vocal about how much she enjoys your company! House Manners & Skills
Luna is a professional roommate who has mastered the art of living in a
home:
Housetrained: She is very reliable with her potty habits, though she can
occasionally have a "happy tinkle" when greeting favorite people
(specifically men).
Crate Pro: She is compliant and quiet in her crate, making her a great
choice for when you need to run errands.
Smarty-Pants: She knows "Sit" and is very motivated by cheese and
treats, which makes her a star during training sessions.
Understanding Luna's Boundaries
Luna is a sensitive girl who needs an advocate. Because she can be
fearful of new people, she thrives in a low-traffic home where she
doesn't have to meet strangers every day.
Luna is very passionate about her things! She can be protective of her
food and toys (growling to let you know she wants space). She needs a
home that respects her "no-interference" rule during mealtime and is
comfortable managing her resources.
When she gets really excited, Luna can be "mouthy." She's working on her
"Off" command and does best with handlers who can recognize when she's
getting too revved up and help her redirect that energy into a toy.
Luna has sensitive ears and skin. While she is working on her leash
skills, she prefers a gentle touch around her head and ears, and a soft
harness that doesn't irritate her pink belly. Her Ideal Match
Luna is looking for a patient, savvy adopter who speaks "dog." She needs
an adult-only environment where she can be the center of attention.
While she has been social with other dogs in playgroups, her guarding
tendencies mean she would likely be happiest as the only pet in the home
so she doesn't have to worry about sharing her favorite toys or her
favorite humans.
If you're looking for a cutie who will tell you exactly how she feels
and snuggle you until the sun comes down, Luna is waiting to meet you!
