Lua - Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Coldwater, Michigan

Who loves BIG girls?
Lua is looking for a family of her own. Her foster said she has been an absolute dream as their newest houseguest.
This is what they told us.... So far, Lua has been enjoying her decompression period in her own room, away from the hustle and bustle of the household. She is quiet, calm, and polite, happily spending her days taking long naps on her cozy new bed.
One thing that surprised us? She's BIG! Her shelter paperwork listed her as "medium," but she's about 70 pounds. She's truly a gentle giant. Lua is about 3 years old.
Despite her size, Lua isn't rambunctious or anxious. She has wonderful manners and is even house-trained! Today she gently tapped her paws on the door to let me know she needed to go outside.
We did a slow introduction with my resident dogs. She was so excited to meet them and immediately tried to play... unfortunately, she accidentally knocked them both over! (They're less than half her size.) I truly believe Lua thinks she's a lap dog. Lua will need slow introductions with any new dogs.
Because of her size and enthusiasm, I haven't allowed her around my cats or youngest child without a leash while we continue to learn more about her. She's a sweetheart we're just taking introductions slowly and setting everyone up for success.
Lua is an absolute doll who deserves a fresh start and a family to call her own. She'll be getting spayed soon and will be fully vetted.

She is will be spayed soon, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300.00. If you would like more information about Mellie, please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com. To apply to adopt, visit our website at www.projecthoperescue.org.
