Description

URGENT:  Luna Needs a Foster or Forever Home. Sweet dog, always a family dog, had since a small puppy. BUT NO TIME, no yard, and another baby coming!  She is gentle, sweet, a bit timid, 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)! Time is running out for Luna. Her owner is considering euthanasia simply because he can no longer care for her as an elderly owner, 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!  Luna's Story Luna is a sweet, 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. (ABSLUTELY 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, one friendly dog (male preferably, but she lives fine 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!!
