Final update · September 6, 2026

When we first shared Luna’s story, we told you about a little dog who had already been through so much—and about the incredible bond she shares with the person who has loved her through it all.

Today, we’re so happy to share that Luna is doing well and continuing to enjoy life with her mom. After experiencing her first terrifying seizures nearly a year ago, Luna was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy. Thankfully, medication has helped keep her seizures under control, giving this sweet, spirited Morkie the chance to get back to being her playful, affectionate, wonderfully sassy self.

But keeping Luna healthy doesn’t end with getting her seizures under control. Because epilepsy requires lifelong management, her mom must continue making sure Luna receives the bloodwork and medication monitoring needed to keep her treatment safe and effective.

Luna has been her mom’s constant companion through some of the hardest chapters of her life. Now, because of compassionate people who chose to help, she can continue being exactly what she has always been—a little source of comfort, happiness, laughter, and unconditional love. 🐾

There may still be ongoing veterinary expenses ahead as Luna continues her lifelong epilepsy management, but today we’re choosing to celebrate how far she has come and the happy days still ahead.

Thank you for standing beside Luna and her mom. Every donation, share, and kind thought helped remind them that they were not facing this journey alone.

Here’s to many more happy, healthy days for this special little girl.

About this campaign

For six years, Luna has been a source of comfort, strength, and unconditional love. This adorable Morkie (Maltese–Yorkshire Terrier mix) came into her mom's life during one of the most difficult times imaginable. Adopted as a young puppy after experiencing trauma, Luna blossomed into a happy, spirited little dog with a playful personality, endless affection, and just the right amount of sass. Through her mom's own ongoing health challenges, Luna has been a constant source of companionship and hope.

Now, Luna needs her mom—and all of us—to help her continue living a healthy life. Almost one year ago, Luna suffered her first seizure. What initially looked like choking quickly turned into a terrifying medical emergency. After multiple seizures, she was rushed to an emergency veterinary hospital, where she was ultimately diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy.

Thanks to medication, Luna's seizures are now being managed, giving her the chance to continue enjoying the life she loves. But epilepsy is a lifelong condition that requires careful monitoring to keep her treatment both safe and effective. Every six months, Luna must undergo complete bloodwork, including a CBC, chemistry panel, and phenobarbital level testing. These tests allow her veterinarian to ensure her medication is working properly, monitor for potential side effects, and make adjustments if needed. Without this ongoing care, Luna's health—and even her life—could be put at risk.

The cost of each six-month monitoring appointment is $840, and her family is asking for help covering these essential veterinary expenses.

Luna's mom is unable to work due to her own declining health, and after exhausting her savings, she is doing everything she can to provide the care Luna needs. She is incredibly grateful for the organizations and compassionate supporters who have already helped them through this journey, but Luna's ongoing medical care remains a significant financial challenge.

Despite everything they've faced together, Luna continues to greet each day with joy, energy, and love. Her veterinarian is optimistic that with continued monitoring and treatment, she can continue living a happy, fulfilling life.

Your tax-deductible donation will help ensure Luna receives the bloodwork and medication monitoring she needs to keep her seizures under control and continue being the loyal companion her mom depends on every day. If you're unable to donate, sharing Luna's fundraiser is another meaningful way to help. Every share gives her story the opportunity to reach someone who can make a life-changing difference.

Together, we can help Luna continue doing what she does best—bringing comfort, happiness, and unconditional love to the person who needs her most. Thank you for being part of Luna's journey.
