About Luna

Luna is a 66-pound Terrier mix who’s still figuring out how to settle into such a noisy, overwhelming shelter world. She’s an independent soul, usually tense—most things seem new, and she’s wary of anything unfamiliar. Luna’s true personality is still hidden away, but she’s trying to summon her courage. If you want to help her relax and start to trust, bring some peanut butter—she melts for it. She wants affection but hasn’t yet learned to accept it with confidence. Patience is key: Luna needs a calm, predictable home with people who won’t rush her. When meeting someone new, she might seem uninterested, but that’s just her self-protection. Give her time, space, and the chance to come to you; crouching down, avoiding pressure, helps her feel safe. Bit by bit, her guard drops and you’ll see the sweet, gentle side she’s been keeping to herself. Given time and gentle understanding, Luna can form a strong bond and transform into an incredibly loyal, loving companion for someone who moves at her speed. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
