Luna is a 1 year old Chihuahua in Lansing, MI, who needs $2,000 for Surgical Treatment for Grade 3 Patellar Luxation.

Luna is *Eleanor’s best friend & beloved life-saving companion. Luna is a Psychiatric Service Dog trained to interrupt Eleanor’s dissociative episodes brought on by the trauma she suffered as a victim of human trafficking. Eleanor has been struggling with Dissociative Identity Disorder since childhood & has made more progress with Luna by her side than with any other therapy she has tried.

At only 16 months old, Luna cannot run or play. Simple things like jumping up on Eleanor’s lap causes both of her kneecaps to go out. Luna’s condition is a Grade III Patellar Luxation which means both kneecaps ride out of their grooves most of the time & requires surgical intervention. Very few places do this surgery & Blue Pearl in Grand Rapids has offered us a discount as a nonprofit.

As a Service Animal, Luna goes everywhere with Eleanor, she helps her with her PTSD & anxiety. Because of the trauma, Eleanor doesn’t do hug or shakes hands, but Luna is always there to accept any and all hugs. When Eleanor is terrified of being in a vehicle, Luna is there as a calming presence which in turned has allowed her to be less dependent on her anxiety medication.

Eleanor is currently a resident of The House of Promise’s rehabilitation program for survivors of sex trafficking & is working on her healing to regain her independence to re-enter into society. She is unable to pay for Luna’s urgent surgery. Luna has changed Eleanor’s life!
