HEADLINER: Hi everyone I am Luna. I am a 3 year old English Mastiff. I am so happy you are reading about my story because I hope to find my forever home soon. I have so much love to give.

HISTORY: I am the famous Mastiff that has been circulating the world of Facebook. I was brought into the rescue when they found out I had a prolapsed uterus and I needed an emergency hysterectomy. I had my surgery and it went extremely well, I then went to my foster home to recover, which I also did amazingly. I am all ready for my happily ever after.

PERSONALITY: I’m a goofy giant! I sometimes think I’m just a floating nose without a giant body attached. My foster mom calls me a Velcro dog, I’m not sure what she means by that… All I know is I love to be wherever she is leaning on her or sitting on her feet. I love to play fetch, I love all the toys, and I super duper love treats and cheese!!

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: I love to play with my foster brothers (goldendoodle, bullmastiff and Pomeranian) I play bow except backwards… I tuck my bum and run all around waiting for them to chase me. I also love to just chill in my kennel with some stuffed animals and blankets.

MEDICAL ISSUES: N/A

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: I would love a home with other dogs, I love to have friends and play. I am great with adults and children… I am intimidated by men at first, but I warm up quickly.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I am a very lovable girl who just wants a home where I can have all the head and belly rubs. I am very quiet, my foster mom has never heard me bark at all. I am the poster for an English Mastiff, a true gentle giant.
