Story
Hello everyone! My name is Luna! I am a 5 year old cattle dog mix girly and I was unfortunately kept in deplorable condition before I was rescued. I was used as a puppy making machine, starved half to death, left to suffer from horrendous yeast infections, and overall just left to suffer. I have made an entire 180 and I’m finally ready for adoption! I am fostered with small cats, kids, dogs, and so on, and my foster mom thinks my best and happiest home would be with doggies my size as I try to herd the smaller animals, and older children. The 4 year old in my home is a very hyper silly boy and sometimes I’m just not wanting to live with all of that nonsense, LOL. So I would love an easy going house I can relax and just enjoy my life at this point. I’m a nice 40 pounds in a smaller body and I have amazing house and crate manners! I am a wonderful wonderful dog for someone looking for a gentle loving companion. Adoption donation fee is $250 which it is tax-deductible and goes towards the care of homeless pets with Unchained Souls Canine Rescue. To expedite the adoption process you can send us a message at Unchained Souls Canine Rescue on Facebook to request an application or you can email us at unchainedsoulscaninerescue@yahoo.com and we will happily send you one! All Unchained Souls Canine Rescue animals are fully vetted: *Spayed/Neutered *Shots updated *Micro-chipped *Heart-worm checked and on prevention *On Flea and Tick Prevention You only need to see your vet for a meet n greet of your new family member and to turn in their medical records.
