Luna

Luna is a 7-year-old staffie cross (born November 2018) that arrived for rehoming on 21 May 2026. Luna weighs 23.8 kilos and is a medium sized dog.

She would suit a confident and assertive owner as she responds very well to a good clear voice.

​

The sort of home for Luna

• No dogs currently in or visiting the home

• No cats in the home

• No children under the age of 10 years

• Access to her own private and secure garden

• Not caged/crated in the home

• A confident, and assertive owner. She responds really well to confident, assertive instructions.

Handling

A lovely dog, very friendly, very affectionate, playful and easy to handle. She is easy to get ready for walks and has not shown any aggression, dominance or fear to any person she has met, including strangers. She is especially loving and attentive, and she loves human company.

​​

As well as loving to play Luna loves to learn, and is very treat orientated which makes training very easy with her.

​​

For bath time she stood licking her licki mat while we wet her, lathered her up and rinsed her. No fear or anxiety shown at all. One of the easiest baths we've ever done. Spent 5-10 minutes in the playroom chasing a boomer ball while she dried off.

Walks

Luna enjoys her walks but may be reluctant to start, certainly from our centre. We find that when taking her in a car to a park or field she is fine. With this in mind, if you come to a viewing we may recommend taking her in a car to a local park/field for the walk. She walks at a good pace and would suit a similar owner, and our volunteers have reported how she walks beautifully.

None of our walkers have encountered any bad reactions to dogs, or anything else, but the previous owner did, and this should be taken into account, as Luna could be a strong dog.

Play

Luna loves to play, and plays with pretty much anything. She enjoys solid Boomer Balls, which she will chase and dribble around endlessly, only stopping for drink breaks. She also enjoys the pursuit of flirt sticks/poles. Tug games are another favourite and she is very good at releasing and giving back toys.

Volunteers who have played with her have commented on how much energy she has.

Health

Luna arrived in good health, with no obvious signs of injury or illness. She is vaccinated until December 2026 and is already neutered. She has now seen our vet, had her check-up and Kennel Cough vaccine. She may be nervous in the vets and with a vet so a soft muzzle is a good idea. She is currently in good health.
