My Story

Luna is a perfectly petite 32-lb Australian Shepherd with the most gorgeous blue eyes and the softest, fluffiest coat. She has a gentle heart and a whole lot of wiggles, and the moment she meets you, her happy tail and joyful energy are impossible to resist. Luna loves pets, attention, and cuddles—and she’ll happily take a treat or two as a bonus!During a recent foster stay, she was shy at first, but warmed up quickly and soon stuck to her fosters like their shadow. She met several new people and handled it beautifully—curious at first, then happily settling in for some quiet time. She had no potty accidents, slept through the night, and woke up adorably excited to greet her fosters.Luna enjoys other dogs and has done well in shelter playgroups, showing she’s playful and social. On leash, she can get excited when she sees other dogs and may bark as she tries to greet them, but with a little continued training, she’ll learn to stay calm and focused during on-leash encounters.Like many herding breed dogs, Luna’s instinct is to chase fast-moving things like cars or bikes, so she must always be kept securely leashed or in a fenced area. She would also do best in a home without small animals.Luna thrives on human connection and is ready for a loving home where she can continue to grow.
