Luna is a special dog looking for a loving parent that can be with her and possibly continue her work as a therapy dog at a hospital. Luna is very good at being a constant companion. She enjoys most being loved and on the lap of her human. She is able to get along with other pets that have calm dispositions. She does not do well insecure pets. Luna lost her constant companions over the past year and the adjustment has been challenging. My son brings his doodle over and the dogs enjoy each others company. She needs help being crate trained. Luna is a dream come true for anyone looking for a loving lap dog.
