307 - Luna

My story

Adoption Fee: $475 - I'm already spayed/neutered! All animals are UTD on vaccines (may need boosters) and microchipped From the foster: UPDATE May 2025 - Luna is nervous and agitated by the constant activity around her home as it's an attached unit with people in the neighboring units coming and going frequently. She is protective of her home in a typical dog fashion, but when something out of the ordinary happens outside, or when the kids in her home are playing loudly, she gets more worked-up than usual and the other dog in her home tries to intervene and there's a squabble. While there have not been any injuries, Luna seems unsettled in her home and we think a different dynamic would put her at ease. Especially being a former mama dog, we'd really like her to be happy in her home. While not hard and fast rules, we think Luna would thrive as the only dog in her home. She craves attention and not having to share it would be her dream. We also think Luna would do best without kids under 16, not because she's not good with kids but because she's happier when things are calm and the humans are predictable. Luna doesn't have to have her own yard, but she would love a daily walk/sniff to help her get some of her dog-instincts met with new smells and familiarizing herself with her environment. If you think Luna might be a good fit for you, please email us at foster@coloradopuppy.org to set-up a meet and greet. Luna will not be attending adoption events without a meet and greet set up in advance. The info below the line is Luna's original bio from when she was adopted in 2024. __________________________________________________ This sweet girl we have been calling Luna, is the absolute best dog I have ever known!! She is so cuddly and playful. She is wonderful with bigger kids (my kids are 8 and 11) - she might be anxious around small children that are less predictable. She sleeps through the night in her crate inside of a play pen so I didn't have to feel guilty locking her in her crate not knowing her history. She hasn't had any accidents inside our home - she will willingly use a puppy pad if she needs to go indoors. She is great at going potty in a yard or on a walk. At first, she didn't want to walk on a leash but after practicing for a few minutes in the backyard, where she was in full control, she ended up going on a really nice little walk around the block. You just need to be a little patient with her because she will want to stop and look at any cars, human friends, or bicyclist that might be passing by. She is super playful and will play nip as she's playing, but she's very gentle. She has never nipped at me in an aggressive manner. I've only heard her growl a few times, but if you are calm with her and let her come to you on her own terms, her unease is very short-lived. She loves to come to you and snuggle on her own terms (which will be very frequently). She is very good at dancing on her two hind legs and will jump, when she is excited to see you. Please know that this pup will be skittish to meet you, but if you give her time on her own terms, she will open up and blossom and just be the cutest thing you've ever seen! She loves to play ball and tug-of-war and chase you all over the backyard. I leave a food dish and water dish available to her all day she will gobble it down pretty darn quickly when she's ready! She hasn't seemed very interested in treats...she is hugely motivated by affection. So if she stops on a walk to watch the birds or the cars go by giving her some loving rubs and telling her she's a good girl she'll be excited to start walking again. I hope she finds the best home ever because she's truly the BEST fur-baby!! www.coloradopuppy.org/how-to-adopt
