Luna is an 8 year old, 35-pound lab, golden, chow, Doberman + more mix. We adopted her as a 4 month old rescue from Puerto Rico. She has been an affectionate family member for 8 years. We want a new loving home for her because our baby is starting to crawl.
Luna will let you sleep in, and she sleeps much of the day. Her behavior is better when she gets over an hour long walk per day. She loves cuddles, neck scratches, and will lean in and put her paws on your lap when she wants love.
Luna is best suited for a family with no other pets or children. She is anxious and resource guards. She is particular about where she’s pet, and she doesn’t like weird movements or unfamiliar objects. Luna requires a fenced yard, small or large. She is efficient about relieving herself in small areas of the yard, not on walks. She is good on a leash but does not react well to other dogs.
We will miss our sweet girl dearly, but know that she will be happier in the right home.
