About Luna
Luna is sleek, quick and a little shy at first. Loud, unpredictable households overwhelm her, but in a calm home she's deeply loyal and very funny. She's at her happiest running flat out in a fenced paddock.
The home she's hoping for
A quiet, active adult or older-teen household with a yard, ideally someone who reads dog body language well.
“Needs a few days to decompress in a new place. Give her space and she'll come to you.”

Sighthound specialists on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Retired racers, whippets and lurchers learning that couches are allowed. Small team, big hearts, very good at explaining why greyhounds are secretly lazy.
