Luna, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Somerset, Kentucky

Location:

Somerset, KY

Description:

Luna is a spayed, 6 year old lab mix. She has been used to running loose on 20 acres her whole life and sleeping in the garage at night. Luna is seeking a new home with a securely fenced back yard where she will be safe, when she's in the mood to be outside. She's never been an "inside dog" but like all dogs adopted through the Somerset-Pulaski County Humane Society, it is a MUST that her adoptive family welcome her into their home to be part of the family. Don't let Luna's age or the fact that she's never been an "indoor dog" deter you from adopting her. Our experience has been that most former "outside dogs" truly consider being inside a mega-privilege and house train VERY quickly. Some don't need any training at all, just an observant family that can recognize their signals when they need to go outside to potty. Adult dogs are also wonderful to adopt, especially for busy families! They are past the puppy stage of chewing, bouncing all over the place and generally getting into stuff that they shouldn't and usually don't require the constant vigilance of raising a pup. She is incredibly loving and would do well with an active single person or an active couple. Luna loves car rides, she likes hiking and being outdoors with her human. But, Luna doesn’t like other dogs much and really doesn't like cats, so she needs to be the only dog in the household. She is used to teenagers but not small children. Luna is under going some medical treatment right now for heart worms and will be evaluated frequently. She will be brought up-to-date on vaccines prior to adoption.Adoption processThe application process.... After you complete an application, there are several things that we will do: 1. We will check your personal references. Please be sure to list two personal references and include a phone number and an email address. (form asks for one; but I like two)2. If you do not own your place of residence, we will call your landlord or leasing office. Please check with them first to learn about their pet policy.3. We will call your veterinarian for a reference. We are looking for a history of annual exams, vaccines maintained routinely, annual heartworm tests and monthly preventatives. We require the following: * All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. * If your pet is not up to date on vaccines, please do not submit the application until you have scheduled an appointment with the vet to get your pets current on their vaccines. 4. If you are a 1st-time pet owner, please include the name and phone number of the veterinarian you plan to use.5. Be sure to call your Vet(s), giving them permission to speak with us.6. We may need to do a home visit prior to approving your application, or post-adoption. If these policies and practices are not acceptable, please do not apply.Shelter locationWe have Adoption Days on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month at 179 Chris Way in Somerset, Kentucky from 12-4 pm EST, in addition to community-based special adoption events.
