WATZ Pet of the Week with Second Chance Animal Shelter, brought to you by Alpena Buick GMC!
Lovely Luna! This sweetheart was found outside during sub zero temperatures and was sadly never claimed by anyone. She is approximately 3 years old and definitely belonged to a family - she adores younger children who are gentle with her and loves to be near people. We truly wish she could tell us her story. She would do well with other animals given proper introductions, is already fixed, FeLV/FIV negative and up to date on her rabies.

Luna would love a forever home and a family to call her own - if you would like to meet her, contact Second Chance through their page, email [email protected] or call (989) 340-1700.
