Amid the chaos and new surroundings, Luna, an energetic young pup, seeks solace in the comforting embrace of her teddy bear. More than just a toy, the plush companion symbolizes a tie to the familiar comforts of home that Luna left behind. Recently taken under the wing of San Antonio Animal Care Services, Luna’s lively spirit and loving nature served as a stark reminder of the emotional impact of her evacuation.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding her, Luna’s unwavering loyalty to her teddy bear provides a glimpse into the depth of her resilience and the enduring bond she cherishes.
Lisa Norwood, the public relations manager at the shelter, noticed Luna’s bond with the bear. “He seems to carry that teddy bear everywhere,” Lisa says in the video below. The bear, a visible link to Luna’s past, released the comforting scent of home. “I guess that’s her emotional support bear, as you can see.”
Despite the challenges, Luna had a team of advocates at the shelter and beyond. The Animal Care Services staff, enthralled by Luna’s playful energy, patiently helped her navigate the enormous changes. Luna’s journey took a positive turn when she and her teddy bear were welcomed into the caring arms of the Vermont English Bulldog Rescue.
Norwood expresses her hope for Luna, envisioning a future where Luna can find a family that appreciates her energetic personality. We have all the hope in the world that this precious dog, and his bear, will find a loving home soon!
A special shoutout to San Antonio Animal Care Services for sharing Luna’s video. Without the wonderful workers and volunteers advocating for pets, too many animals would be lost to the shelter system. Let’s spread the word so that the puppy and his emotional support bear can find their forever family!
