Luna

Very sweet and low-key girl that is looking for a lap to sit on. Despite her breed she is not extremely active.

She was adopted back in 2021 and sadly her adopter has some significant life circumstances preventing her from giving Luna the life she deserves. I can tell you Luna has been loved so much in her first home. She is ready to share that love with her new family.

Luna is an approx 7 year old female Jack Russell mix. She currently weights 10 pounds and is full grown. She is already spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. She is heartworm negative. She was a bit difficult for the vet as she has some trust issues with strangers trying to restrain her.

She is a very sweet and loving dog once she has a day or two to trust you. She is fearful at first and needs some space. After that she is very good about things. She would love a home that is not gone as often but has been able to handle a foster home where the family works a full day. Just as long as she gets lots of love and attention when you get home.

Luna has done okay with smaller male dogs but really doesn’t care much for doggie friends. She is fostered with a male dog her size and does well but doesn’t really want much to do with him. Smaller male dogs that leave her alone would be the best match or a home without other dogs. She does not do well with female dogs. She has lived with cats in the past and done fine.

***The dog in the photos with her is Juno. We also took her back in to rescue. They have lived together however Luna is not always nice to Juno so they aren’t the happiest together***

She would do best in an adult home. She has never lived with kids and really doesn’t like a high energy household. She is fun and playful if you want to take her to do stuff but really likes to just lounge around on the couch with her family. We don’t think she would do the best with young children. Possibly teens that can leave her alone when she isn’t interested in being messed with.

We were told she has some anxiety when left home alone and not crated. She has so far done really well crated at her foster home. She has also done great left out in the house to roam all night while her foster family sleeps. She will pull things through the crate and rip them up if she can reach them.

Luna does decent on the leash when she is not scared. If she is scared, she will try to stop walking or pull away. She is fine on car rides. She is somewhat potty trained. She has been doing really well using puppy pads inside. She has not wanted to potty on the leash outside but may do better with a fenced yard. She has only had two accidents not on the puppy pads since she arrived and those were on the first day.

She has had no trouble sharing food, treats or toys with other dogs or humans. She likes to sit on the couch and watch everything. You need to take it slow with her at first. She can get scared easily and try to bite for a day or two if you push her. After that she will love you and be comfortable with you. She does prefer women but is currently fostered with a male and adjusted to him quicker than we expected.

Luna is going to make the right family very happy. She would love a low key home that would give her all the attention. She would prefer no other dogs or kids but may do okay with the right dog and the right age/temperament of kids. She really is a sweet girl that is ready to settle down in her forever home.
