Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: approx. 2 years old (as of 1/22/26) Weight: approx. 35 pounds (as of 1/22/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   Meet the radiant Luna Moon! She is the proud mom of the “moon” litter and is looking for a fresh start and place to call home. Although we think she has some Dachshund and Basset in her, we are sure this pretty girl has some other breeds in the mix. Luna is a 100% certified goofy goober. She is hyper and super playful, described as always having her happy button “on!” She loves to run and play, loves people and other dogs. She is very interested in cats and small animals but may try to chase them. Luna’s rescue story started when she was found after being dumped by the side of a lake. She was so emaciated that no one knew she was pregnant until the "moon" puppies arrived just days later! We believe this brave and resilient girl was holding out hope for a safe place to birth her babies. Not only is Luna a total love bug, she does well in the crate and is really well mannered overall. Her areas for growth are learning boundaries for affection with humans and a little less pulling on leash walks. She will soon be fully house trained and is making excellent progress. She hopes her fur-ever family will be patient and willing to work on skill building together! Are you willing to welcome this sweet soul into your heart and home? Fill out an application and let her know you’d love to meet her!   Medical Note: This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease. Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future. Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete. Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home. This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications. Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog. Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.
