22-042 Luna was quickly rehomed after an attack by the resident dog at the first adopters’ home (see 22- 029). She had had all her vetting done when she was first placed. After spending the night with one of our foster couples, they took her to her new home with an adoptive couple with instructions to put her on the green bean diet. The adopter had already purchased a case of the no-salt-added French style green beans that we recommend. Luna’s ear was quite tender where the dog in the previous home had bitten it, and she was shaking her head a lot, so we had the ear checked out by a vet, who saw only a superficial wound, so she was given some meds. She and the resident dog, Orla, who was trained as the adopter's service dog are getting along famously. After a couple of days, the adopter noted that Luna’s ear looked better and she wasn’t shaking her head any more. She also told us that Luna loves to be brushed. The adopter recently wrote: On 6/26/22, we received a call from AGR that they had a 4-year-old female Golden that needed to be rehomed and would we be interested.....OF COURSE WE WOULD! The next day, [the AGR transporter] brought Luna to meet us and our 5-year-old female Golden, Orla. We were going to do a "slow introduction" with them. That proved to be unnecessary...the two girls became instant friends. Every morning they will run around the yard chasing each other and the birds and sometimes a rabbit, before breakfast. Luna, as she was named, is our fifth Golden Girl and definitely lives up to the traits of a GR: sweet, gentle, happy, eager to please and constantly wagging her tail. It didn't take long before we knew she had found her "furever" home. We have bells hanging from our patio door and without being trained, she would ring them when she had "to go" but someone always has to go outside with her. She has her favorite toys but will sometimes take one of Orla's and they will play "tug-of-war". She has started to bring a toy and wake one of us up during the night wanting to play. Like all Goldens, she is extremely smart but can be very stubborn when she doesn't want to do something. All our Goldens have been given Irish names, so she is now known as CARA (KEERA) LUNA which means Friendly Moon Goddess.
