FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A nearly 2-year-old dog is looking for a new home after being surrendered to the Humane Society of Broward County when her family moved and could not take her along.

Luna, who weighs about 34 pounds, is described as sweet and affectionate once she warms up to new people. Shelter officials say she can be a bit nervous at first but quickly becomes a cuddly companion who enjoys pets and snuggling.

“She’s a little shy in the beginning, but once she gets to know you, she really loves attention and being close,” said HSBC’s Cherie Wachter.

Wachter said Luna is potty trained and does well with children ages 10 and older. Her compatibility with cats is unknown.

While her exact breed is unclear, staff say she may be a mix and jokingly refer to her as a “petite basset griffon” type, though a DNA test would be needed to confirm.

In addition to adoptions, the shelter is hosting a plant sale fundraiser Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by its Paws Gala event next weekend.
