About Moana

Moana is a small Chihuahua mix who recently arrived at FairyTails after being surrendered by her previous owner, along with her sister Audie and another companion dog. She’s friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but you can tell the new environment feels a bit overwhelming for her right now. Moana weighs about 20 pounds, which makes her a comfortable size for lap time and snuggling in. She’s two years old, still getting her bearings, but shows affection to people and has no trouble mingling with fellow canines. As time passes and she comes out of her shell, more details about her personality will become clear. Moana is not yet house trained. All pets adopted from FairyTails receive thorough vetting, are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and are provided a loving start in their new homes. What are you waiting for?
