About Luna

Luna has been waiting a long time at the shelter, quietly hoping for a place to truly settle in. She’s a 7-year-old German Shepherd mix with a sharp mind and her own opinions about the world. Luna is especially selective about her dog friends—sometimes she clicks, but she doesn’t do well with cats or children. Men make her anxious, and her happiest, safest moments are with women she trusts. If she trusts you, you get her softer side: excitement for squeaky ball games, long outdoor walks, and pointer-bright social energy in known spaces. Luna’s got stamina to burn and relishes activity, but she needs an adopter who really understands her boundaries and values her quirks. She’s got a big heart for the right person—just nobody who’d put her on edge or keep her in situations she can’t handle. If you’re looking for a loyal partner and are willing to put in the time, Luna is ready. Adoption will mean meeting her where she’s at, building trust, and letting her become your best companion at her own pace. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
