Story
🐾 Approximately 1 year old Spayed Female Siberian Husky approximately 50-55 pounds. She appears to be purebred, but we have no way to know for sure. 🐾 She’s great with other dogs and enjoys hanging out and playing. She loves to wrestle and run and jump with others. Luna would do best with dogs larger than 25 pounds as she wants to play. 🐾 Luna thinks the cats look like a fun toy and should go to a home without. 🐾Luna loves people and is happy to be your best friend! Luna does great with children but needs to be reminded of her manners at times. 🐾 Kennel trained (not a fan) and house trained with a schedule. Luna arrived to rescue with her friend Max after being left out on a chain 24/7 with very limited food/water. A good Samaritan was feeding/watering as best as they were able, and they approached the family and were given the two dogs. The good Samaritan was unable to keep them and reached out to us for assistance. Arriving with a ton of pent of energy and no manners, Luna is learning much. Still working hard on basic obedience and leash manners, she’s smart and wants to please. She has a medium-high energy level and needs daily exercise to keep her happy! Luna has been vet checked, is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, spayed, and current on her flea/tick/heartworm/deworming preventatives. Luna’s adoption donation fee is $300.00
