Luna’s transition from a cozy home to the chaos of a shelter was nothing short of traumatic.
Overwhelmed by the loud barking and unfamiliar sights, this sweet one-year-old American Staffy mix clung desperately to her teddy bear, her only source of comfort in a frightening new world.
A World Filled With Fear
Luna was brought to San Antonio Animal Care Services by her previous owners, though the details of her past remain unclear.

The moment she entered her kennel, Luna’s fear was palpable.
She trembled continuously, unwilling to engage with the staff or the other dogs. The teddy bear was her anchor, providing a sense of security in a world that felt completely alien.
Her bond with the stuffed toy was crucial during this stressful time.
According to Lisa Norwood, the PR manager for SAACS, Luna clung to her teddy bear as it served as a comforting reminder of her former home. The familiar scent and feel of the toy were essential to her well-being amid the chaos.

As the days passed, Luna gradually began to emerge from her shell.
Her vibrant personality started to shine through, revealing an energetic and playful spirit that had been hidden beneath her fear. The staff celebrated this transformation, happy to witness Luna becoming more comfortable in her surroundings.
Thanks to the interest shown by numerous visitors, Luna would not face euthanization. Instead, the dedicated staff focused on finding her a loving home.
Hope For A Brighter Future
Recognizing the need for a quieter environment, Vermont English Bulldog Rescue stepped in to relocate Luna until a suitable family could be found.
The bustling atmosphere of her original shelter was too much for her, and she needed a serene space to heal and regain her confidence.
The team at SAACS remains optimistic that Luna will soon discover her forever home.
