Luna is a great dog. She is fully trained, loves to cuddle and be loved. I got her from my sister in California and my 3 year old has terrible allergies. Luna has skin allergies which requires a bath twice a week. She likes to lick herself so we usually put a small cone on her here and there.

An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
