Luna is a 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Norton, OH, who needs $2,000 for Laryngeal Tie-Back Surgery.

Luna, affectionately known as Lulu, came into our lives as a rescue at just 4 weeks old. We bottle-fed and weaned her ourselves. She'll turn 3 on July 7th and lives in a loving home with me, my 2-year-old son, my 10-year-old nephew, my mom, and our other two dogs. Lulu and my son have grown up together and share an incredibly special, unbreakable bond.

Luna is facing a life-threatening emergency. She has laryngeal paralysis and struggles to breathe on her own. Any excitement can cause her airway to collapse, so we have to keep her sedated around the clock to keep her alive. She urgently needs surgery, which we plan to have done at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital. We're doing all we can to keep her stable until then.

Luna is full of energy and personality - a total wild girl in the best way. She's playful, a little dramatic, and always keeps us on our toes. She's extremely attached to me and follows me everywhere I go - definitely a Mommy's girl. She also has a deep love for our other dogs and is always cuddling or playing with them. Her love is loyal, intense, and so special.

Luna's surgery is estimated at $6,000-$7,000. We were approved for $4,000 through CareCredit, but we're struggling to cover the rest. Keeping her sedated at home has been physically and mentally exhausting. Luna's recovery would bring peace back into our home.
