About Luna

Meet Luna, a gentle and intuitive senior girl who offers a lifetime of devotion and tender companionship. This sweet nine-year-old, weighing just 14 pounds, is the definition of a constant companion, adoring nothing more than curling up on a warm lap and soaking in affection. Luna's calming spirit even led her to serve as a therapy dog in hospitals and schools, showcasing her wonderfully intuitive nature. She knows an impressive list of cues and finds joy in simple pleasures like her treat ball or the announcement of 'scooby snacks'.

As an Italian Greyhound and Jack Russell Terrier mix, Luna combines the affectionate, sensitive nature of the Italian Greyhound with the spirited, intelligent traits of the Jack Russell. She thrives on human connection, bonding deeply with a primary caregiver while happily sharing affection with the rest of the family once she feels secure. She is compatible with calm dogs and friendly with cats, preferring companions with confident, gentle temperaments. While she can be protective of her cozy lap spot, thoughtful introductions ensure everyone relaxes together.

Luna is searching for a calm, loving home where someone is present most of the time, as being alone can make her uneasy. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal for her cheerful little walks, and she absolutely adores regular brushing sessions. With patience and positive reinforcement, she will continue to blossom into the loyal little shadow who will follow you from room to room, ready to share every moment of your days.
