luna

Luna is the kind of dog people cross the room to meet. She is a Catahoula mix, about a year old and roughly 50 pounds, with a gray and white merle coat, a freckled pink nose, and pale blue eyes that photographs do not do justice. She greets everyone with a full body wag and a giant grin like she knows exactly how pretty she is.
Luna is young, social, and full of happy energy. She is spayed, microchipped, and already house trained. She is smart and very tuned in to people, the kind of dog who watches your face for whatever is coming next.
Being straightforward about her: when Luna gets excited she can get jumpy and mouthy, and at 50 pounds that is worth knowing before you meet her. For that reason she is looking for a home without small children while she works on her manners.
We recently took Luna to an adoption event, and she showed us something worth sharing. She arrived at full energy, the way she usually does. Then she settled, and she spent the rest of the day calm and easy with strangers, with no mouthiness at all. What we saw suggests her excitement is mostly a question of having somewhere to put her energy. An adopter who can offer real exercise along with consistent, positive reinforcement has good reason to expect the dog we saw that day.
Luna loves other dogs and would be delighted to join a home with a friendly canine sibling to play with. She has not been tested with cats, so we cannot tell you how she would do living with one.
If you are ready for a striking, joyful young dog who will turn heads on every walk and light up every room, come meet Luna at Petersburg Animal Care and Control.
We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 10am to 3pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability.
