About Luna

Luna is a delightful senior Chihuahua looking for a forever home in Silvana, WA. Gentle and quiet, she enjoys being included in family activities and loves to cuddle under a pile of blankets or soak up the sun. Luna has a knack for finding happiness wherever she goes. Her new family will need to be patient as she settles into a predictable potty routine. This sweet girl has lived with other dogs and would appreciate a canine companion with a similar gentle demeanor. While she hasn't lived with cats, her kind nature indicates she would adapt well to them, provided they have a safe space to observe her. At 8 years old and weighing around 12 pounds, Luna is spayed, microchipped, and current on her vaccinations. She recently received a Senior Wellness Exam that showed she has mild luxating patellas, but surgery isn't needed. Luna is very affectionate and loves everyone she meets, but we recommend a home without children under 10 due to her gentle temperament. Adoption inquiries must go through the application process—meet and greets happen only once an application is approved. If you think you could give Luna the loving home she dreams of, don’t hesitate to apply!
