Meet Island Luna 🌙
Yep, my name’s a hint—I’m originally from a real island, far away from San Antonio! I was just a pup, about 4-6 months old, when I was scooped up from the sand and brought to Texas back in 2017. That was a big change for a little island girl, but I landed in the loving arms of a rescue and a kind foster family.
I was adopted and spent several years in what I thought was my forever home. But sadly, in 2023, my world shifted again. My adopter gave me away, and I ended up lost—scared and alone—until I was picked up by the pound. Luckily, my original rescue found me once more. They never stopped caring, and now I’m back where I’m safe.
After all I've been through, I’m still sweet, gentle, and so ready to finally find the family that will never let me go. I'm about 35 pounds, still youthful in spirit, and do well with other friendly dogs and older kids. I’d love a calm, confident dog buddy to help me feel secure.
Could you be the happy ending I’ve been waiting for?

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
