Story
Moonlight is a 4-year-old, 10-pound Pomeranian. She looks purebred to us, though we aren’t sure. She is as sweet a dog as you could hope for. She loves Foster Dogmom and gets along well with the 7 other dogs in the house, ranging from 4 to 40 pounds.
Moonlight is missing one of her back legs. She was rescued from the streets of the Rio Grande valley, so we don’t know how she lost the leg, but it was at least surgically removed. The missing leg does not slow her down in the slightest. Foster Dogmom lives in a 2-story house, and Moonlight follows her up and down the stairs 15 times a day with no assistance. The only thing she can’t do is jump up on the furniture to sit in your lap, but at 10 pounds, she is easily lifted.
Moonlight enjoys a good wrassle with the other dogs; her favorite position is on her back so that they come to her. She doesn’t play with toys much, but she loves to chew on Bene Bones. She also loves to go outside, trot around a bit, and then sun herself.
Even with the missing back leg, Moonlight is able to do a very energetic Doggy Dance of Joy when Foster Dogmom comes home. She loves to sit on either the floor or your lap and look deeply into your eyes while you scritch her head, scratch her butt and tell her what a pretty girl she is.
Moonlight has her manners down. She is housetrained, though you should expect to have to reinforce this in a new home. She’s not barky, unless of course the Amazon delivery driver comes to the house to drop off a package—and who wants a dog that doesn’t protect them from the Amazon delivery driver? During the day she hangs out in a dog bed when she’s not following Foster Dogmom up and down the stairs. At night, she likes to sleep on a cold, hard floor—probably because she’s a big fluffball and fur is hot!
Moonlight would do equally well in a house or an apartment, with a senior or single, a couple, or a family. As you may have noticed from the photos, she is, well, kind of fat. She would benefit from a few short walks each day or a trip to the dog park. She is low-maintenance and a very easy dog to love.
Moonlight is spayed, has all her shots, and is microchipped. She is heartworm-negative.
Note:
We always respond first to inquiries that tell us something about your living situation (house, apartment, single, family, etc.) and why you want this dog. Be sure to include your phone number in your inquiry. We call inquiries that seem to be a good fit for the dog.
