Luna Shepherd Berkeley, CA

Any medical information an adopter should know. no medical issues or medication needed

Luna is the sweetest little 6 year old mini shepherd mix girl you've ever met! While shy and mellow at first, she warms up quickly and then doesn't want to leave your side. Happy, sweet, loving and eager to please, Luna is your perfect companion for hikes, walks, runs, bike rides and adventures and then snuggling up on the couch for Netflix binges. She also knows sit, down, shake, beg, high five, place and is house trained, crate trained, and so easy in the car! She is also treadmill trained and we are happy to give you her treadmill as well, she's used to walking on it up to an hour a day.

Luna is incredibly athletic and has plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but what sets her apart is her ability to listen and have control so her energy is never a handful. She's always up for playing tug, fetch or find it with a toy, but as soon as play time is over she respectfully sits by your side or will rest in her bed or crate. She never gets possessive or controlling with toys, food or play time. She is also experienced in scent training and lure training and agility!

Luna is a bit shy and fearful which can make her a target for controlling or dominant dogs, which is why she needs to be the only dog in the home. However, we have seen her do well around other dogs in controlled, leashed situations where the other dogs are well-behaved. So she is excited to make some new dog friends who she could join on leashed hikes or walks who are calm and respectful of her space.

We'd love to see Luna in a home with an adult couple or family with calm older/teenage kids who can help her continue to blossom and find her confidence! Luna is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, takes no medication, weighs around 50lb, eats dry food once a day and happily rests/sleeps in her crate at night or when we're not home.
