In March of 2023, the folks at Adams County Pet Rescue (ACPR) welcomed a red husky found wandering the streets of Othello, Washington. The staff quickly realized that Luna, as she was soon named, had once belonged to a family. They hoped her owners would come forward to claim her in the following days, but sadly, no one did.
The shelter team placed Luna in a kennel, adding her to the list of shelter residents. It didn’t take long for her to make an impression. Just 10 days after her arrival, Luna managed to escape from her crate, ending up on the roof of the shelter.“It’s happened again, except this time it’s a Husky on the roof!” ACPR posted on Facebook. “Maybe Luna’s climbing skills are the reason her owner decided not to pick her up.”
Luna stood on the roof, scanning for the family she once knew. Her caregivers rushed to her side as soon as they spotted her, safely luring the brave Husky inside. The staff, relieved and fond of her, promised to find her a loving home away from the chaotic shelter.
In the months that followed, Luna completed dog training courses and formed friendships with other dogs at the shelter. Her trust in others grew, and though she was beloved by the staff, no one came forward to adopt her.
