My story

Lunas story is one of incredible resilience and heart. She was found abandoned in the middle of nowhere, left to survive on her own without food, water, or shelter.When she was rescued, she was severely underweight and suffering from mangeher little body covered in sores, much of her fur gone. Its truly remarkable that she held on.And yet you would never know that hardship by the way she greets the world today.Luna is pure sunshine. Her tail is almost always wagging, her eyes bright with hope, and her heart wide open. Despite everything shes been through, she loves people deeply and without hesitation. She seeks out affection, leans into you for comfort, and gives it right back tenfold. All shes ever wanted is to be safe, cared for, and lovedand now that she has a second chance, shes embracing it fully.Shes gaining weight, her coat is coming back beautifully, and her playful puppy spirit is shining through more each day. She loves running in the yard, playing with toys, and soaking up every bit of attention she can get. Mealtime is her favorite eventunderstandably soand her excitement is a sweet reminder of just how far shes come.Luna does best with dogs her own size or larger, as shes still learning appropriate play and can be a bit too enthusiastic with smaller pups. She means no harmshes just a young dog figuring things out and enjoying life again.What Luna needs now is a family who will continue showing her the kindness shes always deserved. A home where shell never have to wonder where her next meal is coming from, where shell always have a warm bed, and where her joyful, loving spirit will be cherished. She survived the unimaginablenow shes ready to truly live. Name: Luna (20260415-03)Weight: 38 lbsAge: 10 months (Est.
