FROM THE SHELTER:

See Luna's Homepage

Luna is a high energy, loving and playful bundle of of joy!!

Luna is a boisterous and energetic young one - full of life and likes to get her nose into whatever is going on. She was born on 6/21/07. See pictures of her and her Momma and siblings at their 2nd birthday!!

Her poor mother was found pregnant and hungry wandering the streets, when she was rescued. There are three puppies still available from the litter.

Luna will probably grow to be about 20 pounds like her mother. She is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She is well socialized with her siblings and with large adults dogs. She is used to being around people and to being handled, no one can resist picking her up and cuddling her all the time!

Luna is used to playing all day long, so she would make a good play buddy.

ADOPTION NOTES:The Hemingway Group provides a special environment for our companions. To insure successful adoption -- there are several things we look for. The first is that most of our companions are on a diet consisting mainly of raw meat, vegetables and fruits (raw diet). Next, the companions at the Hemingway Group are well socialized and used to playing and being with other dogs on a constant basis. Therefore, adoption in most cases should be to a home that already has 1 or more playful & active companions, or adoption of 2 companions from the Group is recommended. This is not an absolute requirement, several of our adoptable companions would do well as an “only pet” but most of our companions would not do was well. Next, our companions are indoor/outdoor dogs and used to running free in large -- very large -- fenced areas for most of the day. Your yard need not be acres large, but clearly a good sized fenced yard or very close dog park and your time to take them regularly is needed. We believe in the Ceasar Millan approach to human and animal behavior, click here for more information. Lastly, we are a small organization -- it is difficult to support any adoption out of state as we require your pre-visit with the companion, our home visit to your location and finally your pickup of your new companion. While not every item mentioned above is mandatory - please consider the environment you can provide a Hemingway Group companion before completing an application. We try very hard to insure a life-time home for our companions.

ADOPTION PROCESS: The process is involved -- because when we respect and cherish our companions and want to ensure that they are adopted they find the best home for themselves and their new family.
