Meet Luna and donate to support her surgery costs!
Luna is a happy puppy, although she can be sassy;) She loves her squeaky toys and banana popsicles. Luna is always ready for adventures or a ride to Starbucks. She lives in the moment.
Luna also had a condition called PDA, Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Basically, she had a large hole in her heart. Luna was born with this defect. PDA is caused when a blood vessel present in the fetus, called the ductus arteriosus, remains open after birth. It typically closes shortly after birth, but in Luna's case it remained open.
Because of the defect, Luna's blood didn't circulate normally, her heart had to work harder than normal. Fortunately, surgery can correct the defect.
Luna had surgery on 8/26/24 to correct her PDA and is recovering in a foster home. She is not up for adoption until her recovery is complete.
The surgery cost $6500. We are accepting donations toward her surgery and recovery and we need your help.
