About this Dog
Meet Luna! This pint sized peanut is big on personality! She has been in a foster home for several months while staff tended to her medical needs. She has now been made available for adoption!-Can take time to warm up to new people and have big feelings. Adopters should anticipate a few `dates` with Luna to get to know her prior to adoption. Trust us, the wait will be so worth it. Once Luna knows you, she gets very excited to see you - soaking up pets, cuddling and is good with handling (including baths). -Has an adorable happy dance when she sees the leash. She loves to walk outside, hanging out in her yard and sunbathing. She still has a `get off my lawn` bark at passerbyers but is decreasing that behavior thanks to positive reinforcement based training.-Does well left alone while her guardians are away from the house free range. She does not do well kennelled while left (causes distress and she can climb over baby gates) but she can be kennelled at night in the same bedroom as her foster parents. Luna is mostly house trained. -Has a `foster brother` (a medium sized male dog) whom she coexists nicely with but is unattached to. She also has grown ambivalent with the neighbor's dog. Historically, Luna has lived in a backyard with a female German Shepherd. On walks, Luna can be reactive on leash but is working with her wonderful foster parents through treats and redirection. She doesn't like when her foster brother goes near her food and bones but it has been managed nicely in her current spot. Luna does have some medical needs that will need to be managed in her next home to help her stay comfortable including an old fracture that is functionally stable in one leg paired with a luxating patella in a different leg. This will likely result in more frequent vet visits and working in coordination with her veterinarian to monitor any changes in her gait and comfort. Adopters will need to ensure that they have the resources (time, patience and finances) to work with Luna throughout her lifetime. Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

100% of LUNA's balance will be sent to whoever adopts LUNA.
Adopt LUNA and Receive LUNA's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, LUNA's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is LUNA's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the LUNA, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming LUNA's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and LUNA was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, LUNA’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the LUNA’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, LUNA’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
