LUNA is AMAZING with all the
new humans she has met here,
yet she is a bit of a bull in a china
shop, so we require a home with
no children under 6, as she may
unintentionally knock the little
ones over. Bring your doggie to
come meet this adorable girl to
help ensure all get along. All this
wonderfulness all rolled up into
one classy canine and all she
asks is for a second chance to
prove what a great gal she is. To
meet Luna, come in to HSCO.
