My story

LUNA a Real Gentle Sweetheart =  Needs a Foster or Forever Home. Sweet dog, always a family dog, had since a small puppy. BUT now NO TIME, no fenced yard, and another baby coming!  She is gentle, sweet, a bit timid, always a pensive look on her sweet face, bonds quickly, takes treats gently, and not a dog to jump on you. She lives with older dog in a separate building from the home (air conditioning and sofa)! Likes to Ride int the car and BONED to her sweet older owner who has to give her up. STORY: Time is running out for Luna. Her owner is considering euthanasia simply because he can no longer care for her as an elderly person with recent hip replacements, and we, the Rescue, are desperately trying to prevent a tragic ending for a truly good easy dog.   The elderly owner in his eighties owner (grandfather with family in home) has been looking for months, contacting all rescues and shelters, for a new home for Luna because there is not room, and he cannot bring himself to take it to an overcrowded shelter, where the Luna would be killed.  At the same time, he cannot keep this her!  She is a great KID= Solid PROVEN pet.  (Rescue saw in person). She is Not large, the perfect size, so easy to KEEP! Timid and sweet, gentle.  Luna is approximately 50-pound terrier mix, small bones and deep chest like a gray hound, a delicate dog with slight build, who found herself in an unfortunate situation through no fault of her own. She was originally left with an elderly couple (abandoned) by a friend of their granddaughter, and now they are overwhelmed while also helping raise their grandchildren. The family does not have a fenced yard, and because Luna is young and stronger than they are, they are afraid that she could eventually pull them down during walks. (ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE)! Although they have done their best for her, they simply cannot continue to provide the care she needs. We recommend that she is placed in a home with older children, or one friendly dog (male preferably, but she lives great with a female, a fenced yard (FINALLY), and older kids to play with her (no no kids) since she as she may be to active for toddlers. ❤️ About Luna Approximately 50 pounds VERY well housetrained Smart and sweet - Learns tricks quickly - BONDS quickly!! Lives peacefully with another older dog Walked several times a day Friendly and deserving of a chance On Heartworm Prevention/Heartworm negative/Flea meds/all vaccines current Looking for a foster, foster-to-adopt, or permanent home Luna isn't a problem dog. She's simply a victim of circumstances. With so many homeless dogs needing help, it's easy for wonderful dogs like Luna to be overlooked—but she deserves the opportunity to have a future. Always a trial basis! A Welcome Home Animal Rescue (AWHAR) Email: awhar09@gmail.com Call/Text Janet: 404-520-1060 Visit: www.awhar.org Foster homes save lives.
