Many times, people are willing to take care of their pets only while they are perfectly fit and free of any diseases. But the moment the furry family members face certain health issues, some owners believe they are not worth the struggle and the finances and decide to get rid of them. Lunita was found dumped on the streets of Salta, Argentina, with nothing but a dilapidated wheelchair and a bag of diapers. She was paralyzed, so she was unable to move on her own and was forced to lay there until someone would save her. Whoever left her there, tied her to a rail near a dog grooming shop. But thankfully she wasn’t there long. A Good Samaritan saw her and called LUBA Salta, a rescue organization.

It was obvious Lunita was in need of urgent medical care, so she was quickly rushed to the vet’s office where she was given the appropriate medical assistance. They wanted to find her a forever home, but they knew the chances of finding one quickly were slim. That is, until a family in the United States heard about Lunita and were interested in her and her story. But it turns out the family wasn’t a perfect fit for her. They were unable to properly care for her, and a mite-infested bed led to her getting a severe staph infection. Lunita conquered yet another obstacle and eventually went to live with another adoptive family in the U.S. But this time, the family knew exactly how to care for her. She started recovering and became one of the happiest dogs we’ve ever seen. She showed everyone how great of a pet she could be if given the love and the devotion she desperately needed to feel.

Her new family did such an amazing job

Her new life was filled with fun. She would spend her days around her doggy sibling and they would run around, visit parks, play in the snow, and attend parties. Lunita’s paralysis was never an obstacle for her to enjoy her life. She was given a custom-built wheelchair that facilitated her moving a great deal. Lunita turned 11 years old and celebrated with a party and a dog-friendly cake. It’s obvious that she was so loved by her family and everyone who met her.

Sadly, less than a month after her 11^thbirthday, Lunita got very sick and was admitted into the ICU at University Medical Hospital. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her illness and passed away.

“I will never forget her and how much she meant to me,” Lunita’s mom wrote on Facebook. “She changed my life forever. I loved her so much.”
