Nysa nka Luna is in Maine! German Shepherd Dog Portland, ME

Luna (formerly named Nysa) came to AHR as a puppy, along with her sister Navi and was adopted in 2018. Her date of birth is 3/17/18. She currently weighs 45 lbs, and still needs to gain some additional weight. Luna was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which initially resulted in a 10 lb weight loss. She is now on a daily medication and special diet and doing fantastic! This will need to be continued in her new home.

Luna is smart, outgoing, and active! She needs exercise - both physical and mental. She would LOVE to be the apple of her family's eye and be their only dog!


As a typical shepherd, she loves to be with her people. She has worked with many trainers and has all of her basic commands down. We are looking for an adopter who has previous shepherd experience. As she will need structure and boundaries in her forever home. We do feel that any potential kids in her adoptive home should be older.

She has been going to doggy daycare at Charlie's Friends and she has so many friends - human, canine, and even feline!

This is what her daycare has to say about her:

Luna loves snuggling with blankets and being lazy on a cozy dog bed. She enjoys the various smells of the city. She can be a bit nervous in new places. She does not like to be left alone outside in a fenced area. She is a girl that needs to know that she can trust you. She is incredibly smart and knows all her basic commands. She loves to work and train. She is very polite in the house and will ask before she gets on the sofa. She has greeted all people and animals in a friendly and calm manner. She is still working on building back her muscle tone from being sick.

Luna is really looking forward to finding her forever family!
