About Luna

Luna is a senior girl who deserves a soft place to land and a chance to enjoy her golden years. The shelter has been stressful for her, but she's showing progress outside her kennel. In a recent playgroup, Luna started a bit stiff but gradually relaxed, engaged in play, and remained responsive to her handler. These moments highlight her potential to feel more at ease in a calmer environment with time and patience. She does have some ongoing medical needs, such as KCS, a chronic eye condition that requires lifelong medication, in addition to skin allergies and an ear infection currently being treated. Handling in the kennel causes her anxiety, complicating her eye care, and she is on behavioral medication to help with this. Luna will thrive in a patient and understanding home that prioritizes her comfort and medical care. For someone ready to support this lovely senior as she builds trust and settles in, she offers a chance to experience life outside the shelter like never before. Ready to meet your new best friend?
