Having a paralyzed pet, whether a dog or a cat, is not an easy task for any owner due to their specific needs. This is why paralyzed dogs are often abandoned by their owners.

Luneta was a beautiful dog who unfortunately became paralyzed and was abandoned on the streets of Salta, Argentina.

Luckily, one of the dog groomers noticed Luneta’s condition and was so horrified that she called the Luba Salta rescue group. Soon after, two volunteers came to check on Luneta’s health and took her away.

She was found lying face down on the sidewalk, tied to a railing near a dog grooming facility.

Her hind legs were tied to a rusty wheelchair. Next to her was a diaper bag and a note with her name, age, and explanation.

Her previous owners said they could no longer care for her and sadly left her no food or water.

Luneta was taken to a shelter and then to a foster family. Volunteers shared her story on Facebook in hopes of finding her a permanent home.

Eventually, an American family contacted the group and offered to give Luneta a forever home.

Unfortunately, things did not go well for Luneta in her new home. The family did not know how to properly care for a disabled dog and ended up ignoring her, which led to Luneta contracting staph.

It took a lot of effort and medical care to help her overcome all her health issues.

Then another American family stepped in and offered to give Luneta a home. With her new family and enjoying great health, she became one of the happiest dogs we have ever seen.

Luneta was able to play with her dog sister, move around in a specially adapted wheelchair, visit the park, play in the snow and even celebrate Christmas.
