Story
Hi, my name is Moana and I'm about 10 months old.  I was rescued by Bond County Humane Society from a shelter in KY.  I was originally brought in as a stray to the shelter in KY and had been there for several months.  When I arrived at BCHS I was so timid I just sat in the corner.  Day by day I became more relaxed and now I come to greet people with my tail wagging.  I have a silly quirk about eating my food.  I lay down with a front leg on each side of the bowl and eat my food.  If someone approaches I get up and move away from the food.  I like the security of being with someone when I'm outside.  I frequently look for reassurance that my walker is still with me.  I am skittish in new places.  I need someone who will be patient with me and help me build my confidence.   I am gentle and like being petted.  I am crate trained and probably house trained.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am spayed, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $250.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org.  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.February 28, 2026, 9:38 am
