Story
Luna’s story began on the side of the road, where she was found abandoned and underweight. She was discovered with several other dogs who appeared to be her littermates. Luna took on the role of protector — the quiet Alpha among them — always watching over her siblings. Two of her littermates have since been adopted and are thriving, and now it’s Luna’s turn to lay her burden down and finally settle into peace. She came from a home with many dogs and likely faced medical neglect and food instability before arriving at the shelter. Despite everything she’s been through, she’s held onto her gentle, affectionate spirit — and now she’s searching for someone who will give her the stability and love she’s always deserved. Since arriving at BENCHS, Luna has struggled with the busy shelter environment. She showed signs of barrier frustration in her kennel, but after being moved into a quieter office space, she began to thrive. Luna has formed deep, loyal bonds with the staff who care for her most often. Because of her strong attachment, she may growl if someone suddenly enters the room — a sign she’s still learning that new people can be safe. Luna has done well with several other dogs, especially when introductions are done slowly and feeding time is supervised. She would likely thrive with another balanced dog who can help guide her, or with an experienced person who understands structure, consistency, and patience. This emotional girl craves affection — she loves kisses, cuddles, and curling up close with her people. She feels deeply and connects fully. Luna would do best in a calm, low-traffic home where she can continue to build confidence and decompress at her own pace. The shelter is simply too busy for Luna to reach her full potential. She needs peace, stability, and love — and she’s waiting for the right person to help her bloom.
