We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Luna Mae, 3 years old, spayed female, Retriever mix, 65 pounds. She is in a foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS and able to transport once an adopter is approved. Luna's story began when her rescuers noticed a very pregnant dog roaming. They realized she had her puppies somewhere and started looking for them. They found them in a drainage pipe where Luna had moved them to keep them safe. It took many people but they were able to get all the puppies out and safely into a foster home with Luna. All her puppies are adopted and it's her turn to land a forever family! Luna is the definition of a gentle soul. After surviving life on the streets and raising nine puppies through a freeze, this resilient mama is finally ready for a home where she can relax, feel safe, and be someone’s beloved best friend. She’s affectionate, loyal, incredibly patient, and has so much love to give once she trusts you. This sweet girl is happiest right by your side. Whether she’s lounging around the house, going for a walk, or greeting you with full-body wiggles and zoomies after you come home, Luna’s favorite thing in the world is simply being with her people. She’s wonderfully well-mannered in the home — fully potty trained, crate trained, and fantastic on leash. Luna walks beautifully beside you, enjoys casual strolls, and will even happily jog alongside you for a mile. She’s calm and unbothered by dogs while out on walks, though she prefers slow introductions and appreciates respectful canine companions who won’t overwhelm her. A mellow older dog could be a great match for her. With children, Luna is incredibly patient and gentle. She has done wonderfully with a young child, calmly moving away if play became too rough instead of reacting. She’s also very friendly with new people and loves having company over, greeting everyone with sweetness and wagging excitement. Luna is moderate energy overall — she enjoys a little backyard zoomie session before settling down for a cozy nap nearby. She loves toys, bones, and treats, though heavy-duty chew toys are definitely recommended because this girl can destroy the average toy in record time. The biggest thing Luna needs help with is separation anxiety. After everything she’s been through, being left alone is hard for her. She bonds deeply with her people and feels safest when she knows they’re nearby. Because of this, she would thrive with a patient adopter who understands anxious dogs and can continue helping her build confidence and security. A work-from-home household or someone with a flexible schedule would be ideal. Luna isn’t just looking for a home — she’s looking for someone willing to love her through her healing journey. In return, she’ll give you unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and the kind of companionship that only a truly grateful rescue dog can offer. If you’re searching for a gentle, loving companion with a huge heart and an inspiring story, Luna may be your perfect match. Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
