Meet Luna, a sweet, black-and-beige German Shepherd mix. At 2 years and 1 month old, she stands medium-sized and weighs about 45.6 lbs. Luna is spayed and updated on vaccinations. While she’s still adjusting to shelter life, she is ready to find her forever home in Oceanside, CA. Special needs are not a concern with Luna, making her an ideal candidate for a loving family.

About Luna

Luna arrived at the shelter on October 15, 2026, after being brought in by her previous owner. This lively, affectionate pup is looking for a patient family where she can thrive. Luna can get a bit anxious, which sometimes manifests as jumping, whining, or playful mouthing. To help her feel secure, it's simple—if she jumps up, just turn away until all four paws are on the ground again. She benefits from brain games, puzzle toys, and daily exercise to keep her sharp mind engaged. Since she can be nervous around new people, it's important to create cozy safe spaces for her, like a comfy crate or a quiet room. Although she loves attention, Luna would do best in a home with older kids who can appreciate her playful spirit and heed her cues. With a predictable routine and consistent love, she'll become a loyal companion ready to shower you with affection. Luna has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, so she's all set for her new adventure!
