About Luna Shortstack

Luna Shortstack is your perfect little shadow, a true companion who adores being close to her humans. This 4-year-old Basset Hound mix weighs in at about 35 pounds and is happiest snuggled up next to you on the couch. Cuddles, belly scratches, and a cozy corner to unwind are her top priorities. She currently finds herself needing a new home due to conflicts with other dogs in her previous environment of four. It's important for her future home that she is the only dog. Luna gets along wonderfully with children and has a friendly demeanor with people, showing no signs of aggression. Spayed and fully house-trained, she enjoys walks, but can pull a bit on the leash. Luna is also prone to separation anxiety and requires a patient adopter who can provide support and understanding. She’s not a fan of crates and would benefit from someone who’s home most of the time to ease her anxiety. Could you be the one to give her the loving home she deserves?
