In the shelter’s words
Meet Luna! Luna is a six-year-old beautiful blue field English Setter who is an absolute sweetie with a sensitive soul. Luna came to SWESR with Bowie after her owners moved overseas and were unable to take the two with them. (Bowie is also available for adoption.) Luna is devoted to her humans and wants to be with you and near you all the time. She loves her toys and will bring you a toy if you have been away, even if you’ve been in another part of the house for just a short while. Luna will also play catch with her toys with you and is especially fond of her plush toys, and is always happily surprised by those that squeak! It may take Luna a little while to show her full personality and she tends to demonstrate her shyness by glancing to the side, but her happiness when greeting you will give away just how deep her emotions and attachment run. Additionally, she has a silly and goofy side that will shine after she is comfortable and feels safe. Luna welcomes each new day with her humans with happiness including a wagging tail and squiggles. Outside, Luna loves to sit in the grass and enjoy the sunshine while letting the wind blow through her gorgeous fur. If you’re with her when she’s basking, all the better to her. She also loves walks – the more, the better – and has a very pretty point when she encounters a bird or hears something rustling in the grass or trees. Luna is currently learning to walk on a loose leash with her humans and responds very well to positive reinforcement with treats while walking. She is attentive to sounds and will let you know if someone is approaching the house or yard. She is not overly fond of super loud noises such as fireworks. Luna is accustomed to having furniture rights and wants to snuggle on the couch with you, as well as sleep next to or near to you. She occasionally sneaks a peek or makes a side glance to make sure you are still near her and that all is well. When next to you, she may place a paw over your hand or foot to ensure you are safe. Luna knows the commands for “sit” and “stay,” particularly when treats are involved. Luna is house-trained – not a single accident while with her fosters – and will sit in front of the back door when she wants to go outside. Luna is not a picky eater. She is a very easy-to-please dog, who just wants to love you and be loved. Pleasing her humans is very important to her. Per the veterinarian, Luna could lose a little weight, but she loves to walk as well as explore the backyard when her humans are with her, which will no doubt help with that effort. She will also gladly play (and exercise) with you in the house and outside via fetch with her stuffed toy. Luna rides well in the car, although she may get a bit concerned and vocal if one of her humans leaves the vehicle, even with the other human present. No doubt she wants to be sure you are safe and sound! When enroute, Luna simply relaxes during the ride. Tethering Luna in the car works fine. Luna would be a great match for anyone seeking an extremely sweet, loving, and devoted dog, preferably someone who is home most of the time and looking for companionship. Luna loves being with her human and gets a bit scared when they are away. If you run a short errand, she will greet you upon your return as if you have been away for days, elated to be reunited with you once again. Luna looks to her humans for approval and affirmation, always striving to please them. Luna does well with her brother, Bowie, and is fine when meeting other dogs on walks, although she is on the submissive side, and thus needs a champion to ensure other dogs don’t take advantage of her sweet nature. Currently Luna enjoys a medium-sized fenced backyard with a six-foot privacy fence. She has never tried to jump on or over the fence. She is currently sharing a home with fellow English Setter, Bowie, with whom she has lived her entire life, but is not currently sharing a home with other pets or children other than Bowie. (Bowie and Luna can be adopted together.) We have not tested Luna with children; however, she lived with a toddler prior to rescue. She is curious about open doors; thus, a watchful eye on gates, doors, etc., is recommended, especially in the beginning when she is getting used to a new home or environment. A home with children might be too loud and busy for this sensitive girl and she would prefer to be the center of attention. She is not a candidate for hunting or field work. If you are looking for a devoted, sweet-natured, loyal companion, who treasures being with you and to whom you are her world, please contact SWESR regarding adopting Luna.

Our adoption fee is $300 for a dog under 1 year old, $250.00 for a dog 1 year and older. Some dogs will be available for a lower fee. Adopters must be 21 years old or older. Any pets currently in the adoptive home must be spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Heartworm preventative is now recommended by Veterinarians in almost all areas of the US, and most are recommending year-round use. If your Vet recommends heartworm testing and consistent use of heartworm preventative medication we will verify to ensure your Vet records show heartworm testing completed and preventative purchased. For dogs currently in an applicantâs home, you should have a history of providing this care for at least the past year. If there are no dogs currently in the home we will check prior vet references and verify heartworm testing and use of preventative for dogs previously in the home. The purchase of heartworm preventative requires a prescription and prior purchases, if applicable, will be verified during the vet reference portion of our application process. If the applicant's vet clinic recommends heartworm preventative but it is purchased elsewhere, we ask applicants to provide proof of the prior purchases. After we receive a completed application to adopt, we conduct a phone interview and a home visit before approving an applicant. A vet reference must be provided for all current and recent pets. Personal and vet references will be verified. If renting, please provide your landlord's contact information or a verification letter from your landlord regarding acceptance of pets.
