Benbo

Benbo arrived at MoonAcre in March 2023 after being surrendered in very poor condition. He was heartbreakingly only 3 years old.

Benbo is blind — one eye has been removed and the other has limited vision but it doesn’t slow him down. What he lacks in sight, he makes up for in spirit. He’s confident, playful, and full of character, loving tug games, cheeky slipper steals, and snuggling under blankets.

Rusty’s Rescue and Recovery

moonacresanctuary

On the 18th of January, after returning from a dog walk, we found a puppy collapsed against our gate. We expected him to run away but instead, he ran straight into our arms. There was no tail wag, no excitement -only complete exhaustion.

Rusty was freezing, emaciated, and filthy. His ribs were clearly visible, and his gums were white – clear signs of prolonged neglect and extreme weakness. We brought him inside immediately, fed and hydrated him, gently bathed him, administered injectable vitamins, and settled him safely into a crate. He fell asleep almost instantly.

We named him Rusty, after the beautiful colour of his coat. From that moment on, a life of suffering, loneliness, and neglect would never again be his reality.

Rusty has since been examined by our vet. We’re relieved to share that he has no microchip and, thankfully, no underlying illness. His blood work is clear—he is simply very underweight and in need of time, nourishment, and rest.

Despite everything he has endured, Rusty appears to be lead-trained, is friendly with other dogs, and has shown himself to be an incredibly sweet, gentle soul.

For now, Rusty’s world revolves around rest, good food, and steady weight gain. He is safe, warm, and exactly where he needs to be.

Rusty is ready and searching for his forever home – a loving family who will give him the life he so deeply deserves. If you think you could be that special family for Rusty, please get in touch with us.

Luna – 3 Years since her rescue

moonacresanctuary
January 2023 to now.

Three years ago, 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔’s life was hanging by a thread.

Early that morning, trails of blood were found in a garden, leading to a stray dog local families had grown deeply fond of. 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 had been shot at close range, execution-style, through the top of her head. The bullet exited through her left eye, leaving her in severe shock and unable to move.

What followed were weeks of emergency care, pain management, and constant monitoring. Against all odds, 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 survived. More than that — she forgave the world that had been unimaginably cruel to her.

Today, 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 is gentle, affectionate, and quietly trusting. She loves calm companionship, soft beds, and the simple comfort of feeling safe. She is brilliant with children, and she’s a joy to walk — happy both on and off the lead, taking everything in with a soft, steady confidence.

But three years is far too long for a dog like 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 to be living in a sanctuary instead of a loving home of her own.

If you think you could offer 𝗟𝗨𝗡𝗔 the calm, compassionate home she deserves, please get in touch or complete an adoption application.
