Luna is a 3-year-old Rottweiler in Naples, FL, who needs $2,000 for ACL repair.

We got Luna when she was 12 weeks old. Her previous family was not able to take care of her so we drove a few hours away to “rescue” her. She is our only fur baby and is spoiled to no end. After a divorce and long distance move my kids used her as their new sense of home. My boys worked so hard getting her to love and trust them which was a challenge due to her previous situation.

Even though she is our family dog her heart truly belongs to my oldest son Isaiah. They sleep together, eat together and even shower together. They are pretty much inseparable. Me and Justin have to bribe with treats, toys and walks just to get close to the attention she has for my oldest. She loves when everyone is all together so it’s easier to spread the love.

I am a single mom and sole provider of 2. With covid I have been working the front lines as an ICU nurse, out sick exposed and in need of mental days. I also decided to go back to school this year which has had a huge financial impact. I normally plan well but this wasn’t

Last week Luna started crying in pain after no apparent injury. We took her to 2 different vets that have come to agree that she had a spontaneous rupture of her hind leg acl. Due to her size, surgical repair is suggested. She is currently in medical management taking pain medicine, anti-inflammatories and crate rest. If all goes as planned she will be having surgery at Bonita Vet Hospital.

Luna is afraid of her own shadow but her favorite place is at the front screen door. She loves to sit with the fresh air as she patrols the street in front of us. Terrifying any poor soul that walks by the house with her junk yard dog bark. Little do they know she wouldn’t hurt a fly. When she feels well she want to be outside with her nose in the air and breeze through her ears.
