Story
Looking for a loyal best friend who thinks you’re the center of the universe? Meet Luna, the sweetheart who is ready to bloom in a home of her very own!
Watching her go from a shy observer to your most affectionate shadow is the most rewarding journey you'll ever take. Luna is the kind of pup who forms deep, soulful bonds with her people and finds her greatest comfort in simply being near you. Once she feels safe, her loving personality begins to shine in the most beautiful way. Luna doesn't just want a house, she wants a human to call her own.
Watch Luna’s soft spirit and quiet sweetness in action here:

We suspect Luna is a charming Chihuahua and Rat Terrier mix, weighing in at a sturdy yet portable 23 lbs. She is the perfect sturdy small size enough for great snuggles on the couch, but compact enough to easily scoop up for a cuddle. Like all our rescues, her breed mix is our best "guesstimate," but her 100% adorable status is a total fact!
Luna is currently thriving in a loving foster home. This experience has shown us just how much love she has to give once she feels safe. She is what we lovingly call a velcro girl. She is a dedicated companion who finds her confidence through her person and loves to stay close. Her foster shared “Luna’s is an amazing dog! My favorite thing is that she loves to dance with me”. Whether you’re running errands or heading out on an adventure, Luna is fantastic in the car. She’s a calm traveler who is just happy to be included in the journey. She may not be the life of the party, but she is absolutely the heart of the home. In other words Luna is a gentle loving companion who is ready to simply share your space and keep your feet warm.
When it comes to other dogs, Luna is a polite and peaceful socialite! She’d do best with a low-to-medium energy dog who will give her space and allow her confidence to grow at her own pace. She’d also thrive as a solo dog since she’s so focused on her person.
Is your home feline-friendly? Luna was tolerant of Biggie, our house cat, watching him roam without showing too much interest.we’d love for her to have a supervised kitty sleepover to see how she does once she’s feeling more comfortable before making it official.
Luna’s ideal home will be one that moves at her pace. A yard or quieter neighborhood setting would help her adjust while she learns the ropes. She’s a dedicated homebody who wants to keep your feet warm and be your most loyal confidante in your private oasis.
Luna is a gentle, 23-pound soul who is looking for a hero to be her whole world. She’s polite with other dogs, respectful of cats, and has a heart of gold just waiting to burst open for the right family.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
