Luna Tuna's Story

Hi, my name is Luna Tuna! I'm a RED pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/>-Personality: Timid especially with new things/people. Very silly once she's comfortable!<br/>-Can Live with Kids: We are requiring an adult only home at this time.<br/>-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history with cats. Might be okay with a slow/supervised introduction.<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: No thanks, she did not do well with other dogs in her previous home and has not enjoyed being around the other dogs in the shelter.<br/>-Can do Apartment Living: Yes<br/>-Potty Trained: Yes<br/>-Bite History: No but Luna Tuna is very sensitive and will be required to go to a dog-experienced home.<br/>-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, Tuna is required to be signed up for at least one private lesson to help everyone get started off on the right paw.<br/>-Energy Level: Moderate<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a spay (included with adoption).<br/>-Additional Information: Luna Tuna is the kind of dog who takes her time learning to trust, but once she feels safe, her unique and quirky personality really starts to shine. Tuna will need an adopter who understands that building a bond with her won’t happen overnight—it will take patience, consistency, and a calm environment. Because of her sensitivity, Tuna is uncomfortable with things going over her head and does not enjoy being harnessed. She’ll do best with someone experienced in handling small, shy dogs who can work with her at her pace and help her feel secure during daily routines. Since Tuna arrived with some minor skin issues (itchy and red skin) we are recommending she is kept up to date on flea medication and grooming (once she's comfortable with grooming). Once Luna Tuna opens up, though, you’ll discover her playful and amusing side. She enjoys chasing around tennis balls and rubbing up on your legs like a cat!<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
