Pupdate 🧡 Amelia (now Luna), Madras, Oregon, 2024. Amelia was one of the 50 dogs we took in this past June from a shelter in Madras, OR that closed down. From what we know about her background, her and her siblings had been living at the shelter since they were puppies - and when they arrived at Street Dog Hero, they were 1.5 years old (last video is from the day she arrived). Shelter life was all they had ever known 😢. But today, Amelia (now Luna) has been adopted by her foster family and they are over the moon in love with her 🥰 Here is her pupdate:
“Luna (nee Amelia) has been such an amazing addition to our family. She came into our lives when we decided to be a foster family for Street Dog Hero after becoming aware of the Madras Shelter Closue earlier in 2024. We came to an event at Street Dog Hero and met several dogs. There was a momma dog with and her pups from the Madras shelter. One dog in particular came to us as she was being walked around prospective foster/adoptive families. We knew immediately she was our foster.
Fast-forward about 6 weeks and Luna had become so well integrated to our family and especially our hearts, that we decided to adopt her and give her the forever home she so deserved. She is a wonderful dog that so sweet and loving. Her new-found joys include playing the lake or anywhere around water, rolling on grassy lawns, and especially runnning. She really loves to run.
She is now well-known in our neighborhood and has made a number of human and canine friends, having daily walk play-dates. Thank you Street Dog Hero for joy you have brought into our lives and most importantly, Luna’s life. We wish the same for her siblings and the other wonderful dogs hoping for their own forever homes.” - Luna’s dad, Rob.
