My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Luna – Your Low-Drama Queen With a Nose for Adventure

Luna isn’t here for chaos. She’s here for good vibes and peaceful days. This mature, level-headed lady takes her time to check out the world, then casually heads off to sniff every inch of the yard like she’s on a very important investigative mission.
She’s easy to leash and easy to handle, comes when called, knows sit, and takes treats with gentle manners. Luna isn’t overly affectionate or pushy, but she enjoys being nearby and quietly sharing space with her people — the kind of companion who fits right into your routine without making everything about her.
On walks she may pull a bit when something smells extra interesting, but it’s more “determined explorer” than full-on drag you down the sidewalk. Once she’s had her sniffing fill, she settles back into her calm, composed self.
Her previous family reported that Luna was housebroken and crate trained, friendly and submissive, and not destructive — meaning your furniture, shoes, and sanity are all likely safe. If you’re looking for a sensible, steady dog who won’t redecorate your home and will happily turn your yard into her personal scent museum, Luna might be your perfect match.
