Luna is a 3-year-old Mix in Washington, DC, who needs $2,000 for Bloodwork and Hospitalization.

I adopted Luna when I was living abroad in South America. She had been abandoned on a box on a street when she was one month old, and was taken in by a family for 2 months. They could no longer keep her, but wanted her to go to a good and caring home. After I adopted her, we were inseparable; I brought her to the US, and we've been together ever since.

Luna is the baby of the family, and she definitely takes advantages of this. She demands everyone's attention all the time, and constantly requests pats and belly. She has all the energy of a puppy, and never stops bounding around. She especially loves playing chase and tug of war with her older sister. At the end of the day, she loves snuggling in bed with Mom and Dad.

I am a student and get limited income through research and teaching. COVID 19 made this last year harder due to job loss and multiple unexpected medical expenses. It would mean the world to have the funding necessary to get Luna the treatment she needs to get healthy again.

My dog accidentally swallowed a pill (medication for humans) today that is toxic to dogs, and she needs urgent veterinary care. This medication can cause permanent organ damage in the long term, so we are particularly concerned about getting her care. We are seeking emergency help at Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC.

Luna is not your usual dog; she has strange tastes in food, no doubt since she was once a street dog. She will happily knock over the trash in search of forbidden treasures one day, and request cheese from a charcuterie board the next. She also loves crunchy vegetables, like broccoli & carrots. Luna also thinks pants are the enemy, and destroys them to prevent Mom & Dad from leaving the house.
