About Luna in KY

Meet Luna, a spirited 8-year-old Dachshund living in Shelbyville, TN. This little lady, weighing 11 lbs, is an English Cream with a smooth coat. Luna's journey has been remarkable; after experiencing back issues, she learned to spine walk, showing her determination and resilience. Each morning, she greets the day with a joyful belly rub request and a happy dance when called. She thrives in her quiet moments, cuddling with her foster sisters, but she also knows how to let loose with her toys. Due to her special needs, Luna requires a home with a fenced yard where she can continue her exercise safely. Ideally, her new family would have experience with IVDD dogs and be home more often than not. While she gets along with male and female dogs, she is not suited for a home with small children or cats. If you have experience caring for “downed” dogs and can express her bladder, Luna might be the perfect companion for you. This sweet girl deserves a loving home that appreciates her unique spirit.
