LUMINOX

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.LUMINOX hails from the Northern community of Poplar Hill and came south along with her 4 puppies to find living homes. She was a loving, attentive mum and now she deserves to get that loving family she’s always dreamed of. She’s spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped and been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. We can definitely see the Husky in her but not so much the Lab but she does have the loving, soft nature of one. So basically the breeds are just our assumption and she probably has many more in her too. She’s a bit under weight so could still do with gaining a few pounds which she should now seeing as she’s no longer nursing her puppies. She’s a sweet girl who just wants snuggles, toys and food. She loves her people and will be their shadow and follow them room-to-room because she doesn’t want to lose sight of them. Belly rubs? Did someone say belly rubs? This girl absolutely loves them and when she has her fosters full attention, she’ll then flop onto the floor and roll over so she can get that full-on belly rub.   LUMINOX’s crate trained and will sleep well in it at night but isn’t such a fan of it in the daytime. She does well on her walks but we do not recommend anytime soon that she be off leash for her until her new owner is well acquainted with her and she’s very trusting of them. She’s housetrained and will let you know when she has to go outside for a bathroom break. She loves her belly rubs and will lean into her foster to let her know she wants them and will now she gets their full attention she’ll then flop on the floor for her to give them. She was just introduced to the water and she ran into it at full tilt and then lay down in it as she was all hot after her hike in the woods She enjoys car rides but sometimes needs bit of a boost to get her in there. She has the funniest quirk of when she’s going somewhere she’ll flop on the ground and go limp. However, she’s fine to be picked up and her smaller size makes it easier to manoeuvre her. She’ll do this sometimes at night when it’s bedtime and time to get her into her crate. She does this as she’d much rather stay with her people and she envisions herself lying on the bed rather than in the crate. She’s fostered with 2 dogs and loves to play with them plus chase them in the yard. She has a cat in her foster home as well and was very interested in her at the start and just wanted to chase her but she’s now a lot better with her and no longer chases her. If there is one in her new home they should be very dog savvy and as always, we recommend a slow, monitored introduction while the new dog is held on leash until they are well aquatinted. She’s only met children aged 10 plus and did very well with them so we are recommending they should b over the age of 10yrs and they should be gentle and liens towards animals.  LUMINOX is just learning how to play with toys and loves the squeaky ones. She has to be monitored with them though as she’ll chew through them pretty quick to get at that squeaker. So we’re recommending the toughest toys for her like the Kong brand and Nyla bones to chew on. She’s very food motivated so it’s very easy to teach new tricks and commands with treats. She already knows sit, paw, down, come and stay to name a few. Although she already knows these commands we do strongly recommend that her new owner take her to obedience/training school and it’s also a great way for her owner to bond with her. She’s great at sniffing out kibble too and has raided her kibble bin a couple of times so food should be kept well out of her reach. She doesn’t show any signs of  resource guarding with people when it comes to food or toys and they can safely be taken from her. However, she does resource guard her food with other dogs so they’re all fed separately and it would be advisable to feed her in her crate if there’s another dog in her new home. She does require a fenced in yard and one that is secure as she’ll go on a mission to find gaps in it and try to escape. She does have a prey drive and will try to chase down bunnies and other critters and she did manage to catch a bunny once and it unfortunately it didn’t survive.  If LUMINOX sounds like she’d fit into your home then please submit an adoption application to meet her.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 14, 2025, 1:38 pm
