About Luna

Meet Luna, a tricolor Siberian Husky and German Shepherd mix who is sure to win your heart. With mesmerizing blue eyes and an equally captivating personality, this young girl is full of rambunctious energy. Luna was surrendered when her previous owner could no longer care for her. In her former home, she loved visits to the dog park and played joyfully with resident pups, although playtime sometimes escalated, so supervised interactions are essential for her. Luna needs plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep her “shepsky” energy in check. At the shelter, she's been a bit shy and is still acclimating, but we believe with the right home, she will truly flourish. If you’re looking for an active companion, Luna could be your perfect match! She is currently available for pre-adoption, and you can meet her in person before she is spayed. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is providing “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption, offering a $200 training voucher for a positive start. Let's find Luna her forever home.
