Lunita wasn't left with any kind of food or water to drink. Lucky for her, one of the employees that works at the grooming shop saw her and was able to notify the rescue organization LUBA Salta. They sent out two volunteers for her.
They were able to place her information online, but there wasn't much hope that she would find a forever home.
That is until a family showed up interested in her.
They were from the United States and needed some funding to have her transferred back home so they began a fundraiser. Eventually, she made it to the US. After she was taken in, things didn't go so well, as The Animal Club reports.
The new owners weren't very knowledgable about how to take care of Lunita and her disability. She soon had a mite infestation which developed into a serious staphylococcal infection.
She was removed from this family and was taken in by another family. Because of the infection, urine scalding, and scabies, Lunita had lost the majority of her hair from the waist down and also her tail. She also endured a horrible urinary tract infection that caused her pain.
Every time that one of her caretakers wiped and cleaned her bottom, the poor thing would scream and whimper.
It took a lot of work, effort, and medical attention to treat all of Lunita's ailments. But, after some time, she did recover.
Lunita was happy with her new family and their adventures. She was able to see snow for the very first time. She made some new friends, traveled a good bit, and even had birthday parties.
Unfortunately, after she celebrated her 11th birthday she became ill. She was admitted to the ICU where she soon passed, according to The Animal Club.
She was surrounded by nothing but love at this time.
It was old age and past struggles that lead to her passing. Things may have been rough for her in the beginning, but it's for sure she was a very happy and loved dog during her last days.
Lunita surely got another chance at life. Would you ever adopt a dog that was once abandoned on the streets? Let us know in the comments. Don't forget to show this story to another pet lover. They are sure to be moved by it.
