Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Update: Moon is walking well on a leash and enjoys strolling along the pond. She loves to play with puppies and small dogs. She's been making friends with other young dogs and they are enjoying chase and zoomies in the yard. Every time she comes upon a puppy she is eager to meet him/her. She makes progress every day and is looking for that peaceful home that will continue to nurture her.
Hi, I’m Moon. They say I’m a 2-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix, but honestly, I feel much older than that. Life hasn’t exactly been gentle with me. For as long as I can remember, it’s just been me, Bennett – my baby’s dad – and the endless streets. I gave birth to my little one, Alex, all alone out there. We didn’t have a safe place to rest or warm hands to care for us. It was just me, trying my best to keep us alive and safe.
The kind folks at Second Chance Dog Rescue found me after someone saw me and Bennett roaming around. A partner of theirs trapped me and brought me to safety, but it’s hard to let go of the fear and hurt. The past has left its mark, and every human hand feels like a question: Will they hurt me, too?
I’m learning, though. The volunteers here are patient, letting me come to them on my own terms. I have begun to trust them, and can go on leash walks. I'm learning about toys and zoomies and love them. I’m a good mom, a gentle soul, and, despite my past, I know deep down I still have love to give. I even enjoy the company of other dogs, as long as they respect my space and understand that trust doesn’t come easy for me. Did I mention I love treats, well I do! I love seeing all the new baby puppies come through the rescue. I enjoy running in yards with dogs smaller than me.
Every day, I’m learning that there’s a future out there with a kind family who won’t let me down. Until then, I’m holding on, one soft touch and gentle word at a time. Thank you for following my journey. I may have been let down before, but I’m hopeful my second chance is just around the corner.
