Austin (USA) - Not every dog is given to an animal shelter because the owners are overwhelmed. In the case of four-legged friend Luna, there was something completely different behind it and brought tears to his new owner's eyes.

Allyondra, who lives in Austin, Texas, really wanted to adopt a dog. She fell in love with Luna straight away at the animal shelter.

The staff told her a lot about the animal. Luna had previously lived with a family, did not show any aggressive behavior and also got on well with children. So she doesn't have any bad behavior.

The young woman then found out why the four-legged friend no longer had a place in her home. "She was given away because the family was facing deportation," Allyondra toldNewsweek.

When she heard about it, she burst into tears. She put herself in the shoes of the helpless family and felt the deepest sympathy, she said. "I would be devastated if I had to leave my dog behind." Luna had to stay at the animal shelter for the time being.

Luna has been living with her new owner since February 15 and has already got used to her new home.

She is not alone there, as there are two other dogs living in the house with her. Because the four-legged friend is used to hearing Spanish, she has no problems understanding her new family, who come from Mexico.

The dog loves running around in the garden, going for walks and, of course, sleeping. She is also learning how stairs work, Allyondra told us.

The young woman also wrote on Instagram and TikTok: "I hope her family is safe and knows that she [Luna] now lives in a house full of love."

Users were also emotional and hope that the previous owners will see the post.
