Luna

Meet Luna, a vibrant and affectionate nine-year-old mixed breed dog from Grand Rapids, MI, whose heart is as big as her love for fetch! With her sleek black and tan coat and lively spirit, Luna is the kind of dog who knows how to balance fun and relaxation. At 50 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion, always ready to be by your side whether it’s playtime or cuddle time.

Luna is the ultimate family dog—she’s wonderful with kids and thrives in a home filled with love and activity. Her playful nature shines through when she’s chasing a ball or getting rewarded with a doggie treat. She knows basic commands like “sit,” “outside,” and “paw” (or “shake”), and while she hasn’t had formal obedience training, her naturally friendly and cooperative personality makes her a joy to be around.

This sweetheart is a mix of energy and calm. She’ll happily join you for a game of fetch during the day and then settle down for a cozy evening indoors. Luna is house-trained and spayed, with grooming needs kept simple—just a good bath and brush every couple of months. She’s comfortable being left alone for short periods and handles everyday noises just fine, but like many dogs, she can get a little anxious with very loud sounds.

When it comes to other dogs, Luna is a bit selective. She tends to do best with dogs smaller than herself, and while she’s generally good-natured, a careful introduction is key. As for cats, it’s a bit of an unknown since Luna hasn’t had much exposure to them. A home with a fenced yard would be perfect, giving her a secure space to stretch her legs and enjoy some outdoor time without the temptation to roam.

Luna’s most endearing quality is her loyalty and her natural talent for being a constant companion. Whether she’s gently leaning into you for pets or patiently waiting for a game of fetch, she brings warmth and joy wherever she goes. Luna is not just a dog—she’s a loving friend who will happily share your days with a wagging tail and a playful heart!

If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who loves to play and relax in equal measure, Luna might just be the perfect match for your family. Reach out today and make Luna a part of your life!
