Moon’s story could have ended before it truly began. At just 1.5 years old, this sweet girl was red-listed at a shelter simply because there were too many dogs. But the moment her rescuers saw her face, they couldn’t say no—and thank goodness they didn’t. Since arriving in rescue, Moon has been a joyful, affectionate ray of sunshine in everyone’s life.
Weighing 37 lbs with a soft, low-shedding coat (note: not hypoallergenic), Moon is a social butterfly who loves dogs, adores people, and especially melts around kids. She’s playful, outgoing, and thrives on adventure—sniffing new scents on long walks and exploring the world with childlike wonder. Moon would do best in an active home where she can enjoy regular outings, plenty of snuggles, and lots of love.
