Hello! I’m Luna! 

I am a female KelpieX Australian Cattle Dog, am 3 years old as I was born on 02/12/22 and am a large tan and white dog.

I’ve not been spayed and my last season would have been around March ’26 although the exact date isn’t known. I’m up to date with my vaccinations, am fit and well and I eat complete dry food with meat and am not fussy, will eat anything.

I first came into the Ark last October when my owner was made homeless and had been living with my dad in his car. I was adopted but sadly returned via the vets because I’d bitten one of my new owner’s son’s dogs.

I’m a friendly, bouncy girl, good with people and love to swim. I’ve not lived with children but have met them, including a baby of 5 months  and was good with all. I lived with another dog when with a previous owner and am good with dogs I meet when out. I’ve also lived with a cat and was fine with it unless it tried to pinch my food! I don’t like a torch shining at me at night or having my nails cut although I’m fine to be bathed at home.

Additional Information

I’d been in my recent home for a year after being rescued from an abusive home and was in pup at the time. I’ve never shown any aggression to people and only to the cat over food, no food aggression with people. However, I attacked my new owner’s son’s dog. My new owner was looking after his son’s 2 dogs in my new home and he came in and greeted the 2 dogs before me, which upset me. I’m good in boarding kennels, at the vets and am fine to be bathed at home. I’m house-trained, can be left for 6 hours max and slept on the sofa. I love travelling in the car, pull on the lead and wear a harness and my recall is selective but I’m better if I have a ball to bring back. I love toys and need an active home. I could probably live with children after careful introductions but, due to my jealousy around other dogs, should be an only dog.

What the Ark says about me

Luna absolutely adores attention from people. Whenever she gets the chance to spend time with them, she will often choose a good belly rub over playing with toys! She is a very social girl who happily welcomes new people and isn’t afraid of strangers. Luna would be best suited to a rural, quieter home without other dogs, as she isn’t the biggest fan of canine company and can be quite reactive towards other dogs. A calm environment where she can enjoy plenty of love, attention and one-on-one time with her people would be ideal for her. It is also important to note that Luna can be quite strong on the lead, particularly when she picks up an interesting scent. She does like to jump up so maybe a few back to basics skills are needed. She can mouth out of excitement but a short, sharp ‘No’ corrects her. She’s fantastic in her kennel, doesn’t rip bedding and is very clean, only toileting at the front. After an initial 5 minutes of madness when first let out of her kennel, she’s ready to give calm loves. She’s an active dog so needs an active family. She shouldn’t live with other dogs, cats or small furries and would be best in an adult home with a couple or single person. She needs a large garden for exercising when it’s not safe to be walked outside if there are other dogs
