No dog deserves to experience abandonment and to know how heartbreaking it feels to be rejected by their own humans. Astra and Luna, two lovely puppies, just wanted their owners’ love, yet they were cruelly dumped under a bridge next to trash.
The lonely and hungry puppies were searching the trash, trying to find something to eat. Occasionally, they would lift their gaze and look into the distance, as if they were expecting to see their owner returning for them. Little did they know that fate would send them a lovely boy who would rescue them and shower them with love.
Finding the Abandoned Puppies
A kind-hearted person who saw the two puppies desperately waiting for their family under a bridge reached out to the Three Little Pitties Rescue. The Texas rescue organization helps street dogs find loving homes in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Virginia, Connecticut, New York, Vermont, and Philadelphia.
As soon as Alayna, the founder of the rescue, received the call, she dashed to the site, bringing her five-year-old son, Cash, with her. Upon their arrival at the location, Alayna and Cash found the two puppies, who were happy to see them. They greeted them with wagging tails and twinkling eyes.

Cash asked his mom to save the abandoned puppies. The canines, later named Luna and Astra, licked Cash’s face, and he covered them in kisses. He gently picked them up and carried them to his mom’s car. The boy’s face was beaming with happiness because the fur babies were saved. Both Astra and Luna felt safe and enjoyed their ride to the rescue. Their eyes melted with love as their young rescuer cuddled them.
Alayna was proud of her son’s compassion and determination to help the abandoned fur babies. “I’ve been heavily involved in rescue for about seven years, and it has really motivated me to teach my son that we’re supposed to take care of the animals in this world. We’re not supposed to pass them by,” Alayna told The Dodo.

The Road to Recovery
One of the volunteers at the rescue offered to foster the puppies. She took them to her home and gave them a lot of love. The puppies were taught manners and were prepared for their forever homes. Two months later, Cash visited Astra and Luna. He took them in his arms and gave them many hugs. The boy was overjoyed to see the puppies and was in awe of how much they thrived. Astra and Luna were thrilled to hang out with Cash, and they showered him with kisses.
Finding Forever Homes
Both puppies found their loving families and traveled to their forever home on the rescue’s transport. Astra’s family saw the pup’s profile on the rescue’s website, and she stole their hearts. When they held her in their arms for the first time, they melted with love. They couldn’t wait to introduce her to Puck, her doggy sibling. Since both Astra’s parents are hockey fans, they changed her name to Zamboni.
Luna’s parents were captivated by her the moment they met her. Luna was excited to start a new life with her parents. Many thanks to Alayna and Cash for rescuing these precious puppies and helping them find their happy endings.
The Joy of Rescue
Helping animals in need brings immense joy and satisfaction. The story of Astra and Luna is a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a significant difference in the lives of abandoned animals. Alayna’s dedication to rescuing dogs and her desire to teach her son the importance of compassion and care for animals is truly inspiring. Cash’s love for Astra and Luna and his eagerness to help them demonstrate the power of empathy and the impact it can have on both humans and animals.
Conclusion
Astra and Luna’s journey from abandonment to finding their forever homes is a testament to the resilience of animals and the power of human kindness. The efforts of Three Little Pitties Rescue, along with Alayna and Cash’s dedication, ensured that these two puppies received the love and care they deserved. Stories like these encourage us to look out for animals in need and to take action whenever we can. Every small effort counts, and together, we can make a difference in the lives of abandoned and neglected animals.
