Story
Luna is a smart, affectionate, and energetic dog who is also naturally protective. She’ll always let you know if someone is at the door, and she takes her job of looking out for her family seriously. She has nipped and has been known to growl at dogs or people when she feels the need to protect her loved ones, but with consistent training and structure, her guarding instincts can absolutely be managed. Luna is VERY smart and loves to show off her athletic side — especially when catching a frisbee in mid-air! Like most Australian Shepherds, she needs plenty of mental stimulation and physical activity to keep her happy and balanced. Daily exercise, playtime, and continued training will help her thrive. With the right home that understands her breed, provides guidance, and gives her an outlet for her energy, Luna will make a loyal, fun, and devoted companion.
