BREED: Lab mix APPROX. AGE: 2.5 year SIZE: Medium/Large HISTORY: Luna lived with an elderly couple on First Nations, outside on her own, in far N. Alberta. She was found badly burned after ran through fire to save herself during huge out of control forest fires. Everyone was evacuated, but Luna was left behind, trapped. So she ran for it when fire surrounded her. Which meant, through fire. She was found with infection on her legs and belly due to the burns. The person that found her took to vet for treatment. The previous couple lost their home so nowhere for Luna to go. Living and abandoned at the vet clinic, she spent 6 months in a cage in northern Alberta, no one adopting her. The veterinarian communicated to the rescuer he was going to have Luna euthanized since he didn’t want her taking up space in the dog run. TEMPERAMENT: Affectionate and smart. Outgoing, playful, vivacious, determined, very smart. No cats, she chases them. PERSONALITY: Goofy, tons of energy to run and chase other dogs for fun. Loyal, loving. Has a great recall on her from far distance. Luna is powerful. She runs like the wind, like a thoroughbred horse. She is a great watch dog but not a big barker. She will alert you to something nearby, but come running to you when called. Luna looks at you with her big brown eyes looking for direction, communication. She is super smart. PETS NEEDS: Big yard or acreage to run, dog parks to run, other big or medium dogs to run and rough play with. Experienced dog adopter. Good leader with rules and boundaries, reward based training. She needs large space to run and preferably with another young playful dog that also likes to run. They have a great time running and wrestling together. She enjoys car rides however, best as a home dog since in the car when sees other dogs she wants to get out to play. Best not placed with owner that wants to walk pet on leash, unless want to jog/run. Luna loves and needs free running on large property. She doesn’t run off, but can be tethered outside if no fencing until she learn boundaries. She will run around property having the time of her life, full force enjoying the sheer joy to run. She hangs out on the deck afterwards. She is also crate trained when need be. BEST MATCH: Adopter with active life style, running, biking, ski-touring, other playful sturdy young dog to run with. Luna does well in cold weather, as long as not far below, for a dog with short fur. No cats, she chases them outside. Inside cats she is ok, but would not trust her at this point alone with them. Luna has a powerful build, but doesn’t jump on you, we have worked with her on manners. No small kids nonetheless. She ideally makes an incredible companion on an acreage. FAVORITE THINGS: Running! Running with other dogs around large property. Chasing, wrestling other young active dog. Lounging around the house after good run. Food, she acts like still starved. FAVORITE THINGS: Running, playing with other dogs running. Chilling afterwards in house.
