ABOUT LUNA

Introducing Luna, formerly known on the racing circuit as Luna Starline, a greyhound with a heart as big as her zest for life. Luna is a delightful and vibrant companion who has switched her love for the track to a love for family life. She was born on April 27, 2022, and ever since she landed in her foster home in Cairns, she's been winning hearts with her endless affection and charming antics. Though she's new to the comforts of home life, she's quickly mastered the art of being the perfect housemate. Luna enjoys the simple pleasure of assembling her "treasure trove" of toys in her bed but always waits for the go-ahead from her human family to dive into playtime.

Luna is a true social butterfly, and always extatic for family to get home. Her friendliness extends beyond just humans; adores the company of other dogs, and even shares her home with feline friends. She's known for receiving gentle kitty kisses and cozying up for naps with them. Absolutely fine with cats. Her bird personality, though untested, is likely to be just as amiable if her track record is anything to go by. Luna is looking for a household with secure, dog-proof fencing that can accommodate her curious and explorative nature, ensuring she has a safe outdoor space to enjoy.

Her foster parents speak highly of her good manners and natural abilities, noting her ability to navigate baby gates with ease and her understanding of appropriate bathroom habits. Luna is enthusiastic about her daily walks, although she's still learning the ropes of leisurely strolls rather than competitive sprints. Despite her rookie status as a family dog, Luna has demonstrated a relaxed, loving demeanor that's sure to enrich the lives of those around her. She may not actually be up for completing your wordle or crossword puzzles, but she will certainly be a constant source of love and companionship. Luna is ready to bring her unique blend of charm, wit, and warmth to a family eager to embrace her playful spirit and tender affection

Medical notes
Luna was retired due to a broken hock which has since been repaired and is no hinderance to Luna's quality of life.

GREYHOUND SAFETY SHOULDN’T BE BY CHOICE. IT'S AN OBLIGATION

So many very experienced and knowledgeable people and organisations, such as GAP, Greysave.org and Greyhoundequality.org strongly advise that Greyhounds should NOT be allowed to run free (off leash) in public places including dog parks and beaches. They all recommend that, for everyone's safety, but especially that of the dog, off leash activity should be restricted to fully fenced locations only but NOT public leash free dog parks nor beaches.

To expect your Greyhound to be always under control off leash is grossly unfair on the dog and putting him, yourself, other owners and their pets in danger. Especially your Greyhound, as they are often targeted by other aggressive dogs who’s owners have lost control and, when there is an altercation, it’s more than likely the Greyhound will be blamed by the irresponsible owner for any injuries suffered by the other dog. When a Greyhound is attacked, not only might he react and injure the other dog but he will nearly always come off second best because of his thin skin and propensity to tear like paper. Greyhounds die from these wounds more often than other thick skinned breeds. Another common consequence is PTSD, not to mention the risk of acidosis and other injuries from that burst of energy from a Greyhound no longer in racing fitness. You only need to read the horror stories on the Greyhound pages on Facebook to know this is true.

Many Cairns Greyhound owners love to see their dogs running flat out on our northern beaches but they are oblivious to the risks. Not just other dogs go undetected. Many tragic stories have been published of pet dogs being taken by crocs. Is the thrill of the run worth the risk ? Our beaches are all close to major roads. A Greyhound chasing after something he’s spotted in the distance is too focused on the “prey” to even notice the traffic and is deaf to your calls to halt his gallop.

Quoting from a Greysave.org article entitled WHY 'ALWAYS ON A LEASH'

It’s beautiful to watch a Greyhound run, so why does GreySave join most Greyhound adoption groups in having a “never off leash in an unenclosed area” policy? These groups have carefully thought through this policy and based it on experience with thousands and thousands of adopted Greyhounds. Here are some of the reasons behind it.

• Speed
A Greyhound can go from 0 to 45 m.p.h. in three steps. Furthermore, when traveling at that speed, his ears are flat back, his heart is racing, his mind is concentrating on the goal, and he simply cannot hear a frantic owner giving a command to stop. He is also going too fast for a car to avoid hitting him should he run across a street.

• Eyesight
A Greyhound can spot something the size of rabbit a half mile away. He is a sight hound, and that visual stimuli can cause his chase drive to kick in leaving the owner to wonder, “What in the world happened!”

• Training
On the track, a Greyhound is trained to ignore cheering crowds or any of hundreds of other noises surrounding them. When they are running, they are focused. Nothing changes that training when they come to their adoptive home.

This is the perspective of the writer of that article:

1) It takes only one mistake, and I would never forgive myself if I killed one of my Greyhounds by trusting him or her off leash, especially since I’ve been warned.

2) I set an example. If I were to let my Greyhounds off leash, other Greyhound owners may see them, live or in photos, and may be more likely to try it with their dogs. In short, I may contribute to the injury or death of someone else’s Greyhound.

3) Both of the groups that I adopted from have “no off leash” policies, as do most Greyhound rescue groups around the nation. Point 6 on the GreySave application form says: “I agree to use a proper martingale-style collar on my greyhound, and to never let my greyhound off-leash in an unfenced area.”

In signing that application, all GreySave adopters make this promise. I signed the agreement, and I believe I should keep my word. That’s my perspective.

A Final Note

Your dog trusts you for its safety and well-being. Much like drinking and driving, you may get away with letting him or her off leash for a while, but is your dog’s life worth the risk?

If you love them, leash them.

WE COULDN’T AGREE MORE . . . That’s why we also have a “no off leash” policy. Look at it this way. You love to see your dog racing, your dog loves to race BUT neither of you want a tragic accident that ends your dogs life. Greyhounds are trained to run on a flat track and even then, they can suffer horrific injuries. Take them off the track and let them “race” on uneven ground of which you have no knowledge about little pot holes the size of his foot, is asking for trouble.

For those of us who have seen the damage a prey driven Greyhound can do to an unfortunate cat that runs across his path, or a little fluffy dog that thinks it’s a Rotty, this is a no brainer. Put your desire to watch him run aside and think only of his and others safety. Please remember that a dog has two reactions. Conditioned reflex and instinct. No matter how well you’ve trained your dog to have really good recall (conditioned reflex), when it comes to the test, instinct will ALWAYS win that race.
