Luna - American Staffordshire Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in St. Peters, Missouri

Meet Luna!

Meet Luna, an approximately 2-year-old 65 lb terrier mix. Luna is a sweet, silly girl who believes that if you’re sitting down, your lap belongs to her! Luna absolutely loves her people and wants ALL the affection she can get. If cuddling on the couch is an option, Luna is there!

Luna is working hard on her house training and is doing really well. She is also crate trained and happily goes right into her crate with no fuss. She’s a great car rider, too — she settles into the back seat and enjoys looking out the window. We use a seatbelt restraint for extra safety, especially for the driver.

She knows how to sit and is continuing to work on her manners. She loves kids, although she can get excited and jump up to greet them, so younger/smaller children may not be the best match until she gets better at keeping all four paws on the floor.

Luna LOVES to play with other big dogs and does very well with them. However, Luna is not appropriate for a home with small dogs at this time. She doesn’t seem to appreciate smaller dog energy, so her forever home needs to be either a single-dog household or a home with appropriately sized dogs that she can safely play with. Luna has been in a home with cats and was respectful to them!

And you can’t forget about Luna’s favorite possession — her half-stuffed duck! She carries that thing everywhere and is absolutely adorable with it.

After playtime, Luna is more than happy to curl up beside you on the couch and soak up some love. She is a big-hearted girl who wants to be part of her person’s life and would thrive with someone who will continue working with her, give her plenty of affection and exercise, and help her learn good manners.

Luna is spayed and is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm.

If you’re looking for a loving, goofy, cuddly girl who will happily be your shadow and your walking buddy, Luna might be your girl!

Luna’s Ideal Home

Single-dog home OR home with large dogs
No small dogs at this time
Older/larger children may be the best fit because she is still working on jumping
