DESCRIPTION
Meet Luna! Luna came to the shelter when her owner passed away, and she has quickly become a staff favorite for her sweet demeanor and excellent manners. Kennel staff describe her as smart and obedient and great on leash (though she sometimes gets excited when she sees a squirrel). She has previously lived with cats and did great with them, even calmly allowing them to grab a snack from her food bowl. She loves kids and is friendly with strangers, but can sometimes be more timid around men. She would prefer a home with no other dogs. She is housebroken and loves treats!
If you would like to meet Luna, stop by the shelter today!

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.
The Collie is a graceful and intelligent dog known for their loyalty, gentle nature, and exceptional herding abilities. They come in two coat varieties, rough and smooth, with colors ranging from sable and white to blue merle. Collies excel in obedience training and thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Their keen intuition and strong bond with their owners make them wonderful family pets and reliable working dogs in tasks such as herding livestock or in search and rescue missions.
