Luna is the kind of dog people meet and immediately say, with a little awe, “She’s soooooo sweet.” And she really is. She takes treats with incredible gentleness, rests her right paw on your knee when she wants scratches, and somehow always knows to be calm and patient with kids and puppies.

She loves sunbathing and popcorn; we love the way her ears bounce when she walks. When she was younger, she lived for hikes and surprised everyone by scrambling up mountains and crossing boulder fields like it was nothing. At home, she’s happiest curled up close, completely content just being near her people. She’s been our constant, steady presence for nine years.

Luna came to us as a rescue from an abusive home, and from the beginning, our goal has been to give her a life defined by safety, comfort, and love. A few weeks ago, Luna was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that has progressed far faster than expected. Since then, we’ve been navigating specialists, advanced imaging, and difficult decisions with a goal of protecting Luna’s comfort and quality of life.

She’s now undergoing stereotactic radiation therapy at Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital in Colorado, which offers the best chance to slow the disease and give her more good days. The cost of her care has added up quickly, and we’re facing medical expenses far beyond what we ever imagined.

If you’re able to help, your support will go directly toward Luna’s medical care and comfort. If you can’t, sharing this page or keeping Luna in your thoughts means just as much.

Thank you for caring about our girl and for helping us give her as many good days as possible.
