Story

Luna – Returned After Almost Half a Year Will you be my Valentine?I spent almost half a year in a home before being returned when circumstances changed. It was confusing, but I haven’t lost my loving nature or my hope. I’m calm, affectionate, and enjoy being part of a routine. I’m ready for a second chance and a family who understands that love grows stronger with commitment. Luna is a sweet, affectionate puppy who is coming back to Lucky Paws Rescue through no fault of her own. She is being returned because her current home found it difficult to manage normal puppy behavior alongside very small children. Before unsafe situations or bad habits could develop, the decision was made to return Luna so she can be set up for long-term success. Luna is not a “bad dog.” She is simply a puppy — curious, busy, learning, and full of energy. She loves people, enjoys cuddling, and shows a gentle, affectionate nature. Like all puppies, Luna needs structure, consistency, training, and time. She is still learning appropriate behaviors and will thrive in a home that understands the commitment required during the puppy stage. Luna would do best in a home that: has time for puppy training and daily engagement understands normal puppy behaviors (chewing, mouthing, learning boundaries) can provide structure and supervision may be better suited for older children rather than toddlers Luna has a wonderful foundation and a loving personality. With the right home, she will grow into a confident, well-adjusted companion. If you’re ready for the joy — and responsibility — of raising a puppy, Luna may be a great fit for your family. ##2590500##

Story

Hope is a loving, gentle dog who’s been with us since I brought her home from my brother in New Mexico. She’s great with kids, bonds quickly, and loves staying close to her people. After moving to South Carolina, she developed allergies. She wears a cone to protect her skin and takes allergy chews, but she would thrive with someone who can help her stay comfortable long‑term. With an almost 2‑year‑old at home and a new baby on the way later this year, I know I won’t be able to give her the level of attention and care she truly needs. She does great at the groomer for nail trims and settles well with anxiety chews during storms. I’m looking for a loving home where she can get the care and attention she deserves.
