LUNA – 27232
Safe - 5-27-2018 Manhattan Rescue: Happy Homes Please honor your pledges: http://www.happyhomesinc.org/
SAFE 5/29/18 Luna is a wonderful older girl who came to ACC after a new baby in the home suffered from allergies. Luna was a bit nervous when she first came in but has really warmed up and runs up to the front of her kennel for all the attention she can get! This big girl is just looking for a couch and a ray of sunshine to snooze away the day.
