We received this message from a dog warden we have worked with in the past:

“Hope all is well with you. I’m sure you’re overflowing like everyone but I took in a lovely girl today who has two 6 day old puppies. I got them signed over as the young girl was not coping with them and left them alone in the house only visiting to feed them once a day. Poor dog was barking and howling for hours on end and housing association told her they had to go. I really hope you can help.”

As you can imagine we could not say no.  We were told Luna was about 13 months old, so born September 2021, not microchipped or vaccinated and already on her third home.

One of our foster homes went and collected mum and pups but sadly mum had no real interest in the pups, they were pretty inactive, and she just wanted to be with people and was willing to try and destroy the house to get to them. Foster mum spent the night with them and started bottle feeding as Luna had no real interest in them and it is amazing they have made it this far. Poor Luna is a produce of the state of our society! Three homes, left alone to deal with puppies on her own, it is hardly surprising she just wanted some people contact and affection. The decision was made to split Luna and the pups so Luna went to the kennels so the pups could be hand reared.

Luna had a spell in foster where she did start relaxing around other dogs and she also overcame separation anxiety, but this would need to be reestablished in a new home.

“Luna is a big girl who doesn’t know her size and you will be greeted to her trying jump up for cuddles. She is a very strong girl on lead but is better walking on a halti. Luna is dog reactive, mainly to little dogs as she doesn’t seem to kick off at large dogs and will actually walk with them. Luna is house trained but does have separation anxiety she doesn’t destroy the house but will cry.”

Please consider giving Luna a chance.
