Story
Luna is a six year old Labrakita. We got her as a pup and raised her indoors with our cat until we moved around four years ago. She was crate trained and babied, a sweet sassy pup without many boundaries who we had to put outside as she couldn't seem to understand she needed to give space to our newborn. She's been living outdoors on a chain since then to keep her out of the road. She loves attention, scratches, and a good snack. Kills any small animals that come near her. Doesn't understand that she needs to be gentle with our now nearly four year old and other small children. We are unsure if she would be okay in a home with children or other animals as she has been outside for so long. Very smart dog territorial, and loyal. She desperately deserves better than we have been able to give her!

He deserves a forever home where he can thrive and share his joy. Dogs are usually tested with other dogs their size, and we encourage meet-and-greets with your dog before adoption. Cat tests are available if requested, but they only check for clear aggression. Always be careful when introducing dogs to cats. Advice about dogs living with children is based on behavior like energy level and how the dog handles touch. Young children should never be left alone with dogs, and we cannot guarantee how any dog will behave with kids or other pets. Behavior seen in the shelter is just a snapshot and may change in a home. Dogs come from many backgrounds and may need training, time, and patience. Dogs should not be fed together unless you know they do not guard food. We also suggest learning about a dog's breed or mix to be sure it fits your family. Moving to a new home can be stressful for dogs. Use the Rule of 3 to help them adjust: First 3 days: Dogs may feel scared, tired, overexcited, or not want to eat. First 3 weeks: Dogs start learning routines and may show new behaviors. Keep things calm and avoid busy places. First 3 months: Dogs usually feel settled and more comfortable. For more information, visit joplinhumane.org or contact the Joplin Humane Society in Joplin, Missouri at 417-623-3642.
