'Gentlest' Shelter Mama Dog Raised 7 Puppies - Now She Wants Someone to Choose Her
Dogs are naturally caring and empathetic with their loved ones, both human and four-legged. Canines also have a strong maternal instinct and will sacrifice their own well-being to give their puppies what they need.
Moon is a rescue dog who tirelessly tended to her litter of seven puppies and now needs a home of her own.

In the TikTok from @peggyadamsarl, Moon sat in her kennel at the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League with a sweet look on her face that radiated her gentle spirit. Several clips of the video showed the precious pooch with all seven of her pups, rotating between nursing them (all at once), snuggling, and just staying close to her canine kids.
Moon never looked impatient and was a constant presence for her adorable puppies. All of her fur babies are currently thriving in foster homes. Now with a cone on her head following her spay surgery, Moon is longing for a forever home.
"Everyone loves puppies, but what about their mom?" the caption posed. "Adoptable Moon deserves SO much love!"
The canine cutie took her mama role seriously and made sure all of her puppies were loved and well-fed. With her entire litter launched, Moon hopes for her own fresh start.
"Moon was the best mom," the story continued. "She raised her puppies big and strong, and now they're eating on their own in foster homes. Now, it's Moon's turn to be pampered!"
Moon Is 'Gentlest Girl'
Moon is now spayed, so she won't be carrying any more litters. The precious pooch is still young with so much to offer, and would make a wonderful addition to a loving family
"Moon is 2 years old, LOVES to cuddle (she will lie on your lap forever if you let her), and can never get enough belly rubs," the caption raved. "Moon is the gentlest girl in the world and a true joy to meet."
