About Luna

Luna is a striking 3 to 4-year-old black and white Aussie mix in Salt Lake City, UT. She landed in rescue after her last home became crowded, and now she’s finding her confidence, one gentle day at a time. Shy at first, Luna is nothing but sweetness—never a mean move, just a sensitive soul who wants to feel safe and loved. She’s fully house and crate trained, though she prefers her crate door open so she can come and go as she pleases. This is a classic ‘Velcro dog’: Luna stays close to her people, curling up for couch cuddles or napping at your feet. She’s learning to enjoy the company of other dogs but needs slow introductions. Once she settles in, she’ll buddy up. Because she’s submissive and sensitive, she’d do best in a calm home with adults or older kids. Luna likes to roam in a fenced yard, take her time outside, and lounge in the sun. Walks are enjoyable, though sometimes she needs a little encouragement—never a puller, just hesitant when things feel new. If you work from home or are home most of the day, she’ll thrive at your side. Regular brushing will keep her looking her best, but her personality is the real draw: loving, loyal, and gentle. Luna is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and her adoption fee is $200. Ready to give Luna her happily ever after? Your new best friend is just one click away.
