Meet Puppy Luna!
Meet Luna!
Sweet Luna is a 5 month old female pit mix puppy. Luna is a very friendly, yet submissive puppy. She loves the company of people and other dogs, and would do well in a home with another dog who is willing to play and engage with her. She is very excited to meet and see people, even strangers, and engages well with the energy of the house. She will play and then relax on the couch. Luna would make a great family dog and the few times she has been left alone, both crated and not, she's done great. She does seem afraid of loud noises and is timid with new experiences, but once she is comfortable in her environment - her confidence shows.
Luna would do great with an active family looking to have a dog that they can enjoy around the house, but also take out on hikes and activities. She does not require extensive exercise, but enjoys walks and is content with lounging on the couch after exercise or playing. She would do well with another dog to help build her confidence.
Luna's fosters have said she is one of the friendliest dogs they have ever fostered and would do well with a family or person who is willing to have her accompany them to social outings and experiences.
Ideal home will:
Have the time to commit to all things puppy! Please note puppies do not do well left alone long hours and need to be let out every 2-3 hours for potty. Long work schedule where the puppy would be left alone for 7+ hours can be difficult on most puppies and young dogs.
Solid plans for puppy socialization, positive exposure and continued training + relationship building -- commitment not just to puppyhood but to a lifetime of love, care, companionship and vetting. HFP advocates for Positive Reinforcement only for young puppies and training that focuses less on "obedience" and more on confidence building, relationship building and consent training.
Preference to homes w/ friendly & well-trained dog role models (preference, NOT required)
Preference to homes w/ yards (preferred, NOT required) Why? Puppies cannot go in public until they are 4 month old and complete their puppy shot series. Having a yard during this time greatly helps with play, potty training, and providing an outlet for your puppy to get outside. There are ways to work around this if you do live in an apartment setting but it takes some extra work and planning!
