Luna - Maltese and Poodle Dog for Adoption in Greenbelt, Maryland

Luna is a petite princess who wants to be your best friend! At about 1.5 years old this 7 pound girl is a bundle of happy energy. She loves bouncing through the grass, playing with her friend Rocky (also available thru PAW), and snuggling her humans.

Luna has had a tough road - surrendered by her people because they were moving, stuck in a scary kennel, she now needs someone with patience to make her feel loved and secure. She prefers to be with you and would like to sleep in your bed, although she has been sleeping in a crate with her foster. She also knows "sit" and is working on "down."

She is small and easy to walk. She gets along with Rocky and has met her foster sibling - but she will need work integrating into a household with a dog as her excitement level can be offputting. She seems to do better with small dogs. She will also need work on barking - although we don't know if that is because she is a new environment or a habit. We think once she feels secure she will settle in beautifully and give you more love than you could ever imagine.

Luna is a beautiful girl with so much love to give! Can you be the person she gets to share it with?
