Luna

Luna (20) is a 56 pound, 8 year old, spayed, female black lab with a
big heart – both figuratively and literally. She is shy at first and very
timid, but after a few weeks, she will come out of her shell and is really a
very sweet, loving, loyal dog. She loves to go on walks and car rides, but
mostly she loves just being with her people and getting her ears, neck and
belly rubbed. She is house trained and can be left alone to her own devices
for several hours. Her favorite toys are stuffies and toys that squeak. If
you toss a toy, she will saunter over to it, pick it up and gently bring it
back two or three times – and then she is done with that game. She can use a
doggy door, but prefers to go in and out the human door. She is good with
children and other dogs and is ambivalent about cats.

As noted above, her heart is enlarged and she has a significant heart
murmur. Her heart condition makes any surgery impossible unless it is for
life saving purposes. This condition is currently stable and could remain so
for several years. She is on a grain, sweet potato, chicken, and legume diet,
with no salt to support her heart health. This can be purchased premade or a
recipe to make it can be provided. She takes trazodone twice a day for
anxiety and Vetmedin (pimobendan) twice a day for her heart condition.
These medications will need to be provided to her for the duration of her
life.
