About Luna

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Snuggle. Bunny. Yes, Luna is indeed a dog, and that’s one of her best bonuses! Unlike a rabbit, you won’t need to trim her teeth or worry much about chewing up cords (although jumping over fences is within her skill set). Leash walks are a breeze for Luna, but she’d rather curl up in your lap than rack up steps. This mellow companion loves quiet time and makes the perfect partner for evenings spent relaxing on the couch. Luna is thoughtful and prefers to be your one and only pet. She asks for a home where she can be the sole recipient of your affection—no other critters in her lap, please! Estimated to have been born in late February 2018, Luna is mature and dignified, with a low-key vibe that will melt your heart. Here’s a fun tidbit: as a Pisces, Luna is innately gentle and intuitive, making her especially attuned to your moods and always ready for a cuddle session. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
