The City of Troy, Luna’s Owner Cade Saba, and the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society reached an agreement that will allow the dog to live and be returned to her family.

Since the initial bite back in October, Luna has caused quite a stir. She quickly became the face of Troy’s “dangerous dog law” which imposed a one bite penalty. In other words, a dog that bites any human or animal would face death.

After Luna’s case, the Troy city council voted to amend that law, and the city council president asked the mayor to have the city drop the charges against the 6-year-old pitbull-hound mix.

The details of the settlement include the following:

The outcome is an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD) for two years with no dangerous dog designation.

Saba agrees to have Luna on a leash and wearing a muzzle when off her premises.

Luna will be spayed and microchipped before leaving the Humane Society.

Owners will pay a $1,500 fine.

MHHS President and CEO Todd Cramer issued this statement:

“Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is satisfied with this outcome and beyond grateful to the many animal lovers and supporters who stood behind us and spoke up for Luna in the effort to save her life. We appreciate the City’s willingness to resolve this with a positive outcome for Luna, and we extend our gratitude to Senator Jim Tedisco for lending his voice on Luna’s behalf.”
