Moon Ray

Moon Ray is an adoptable male Staffordshire Bull Terrier looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. He is fully grown and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Moon Ray may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

' Healing wounds noted ' no treatment deemed necessary at the time ' Heartworm HIGH POSITIVE ' Vaccinated and dewormed ' Received Advantage Multi ' He was darted in the left hock during capture; the dart was lost in a heavy-traffic street ⸻ 🐾BEHAVIOR NOTES: Moon Ray appears to be overwhelmed with fear in the shelter environment. He has repeatedly pancaked to the ground, hidden his face in the corner, army-crawled, and frozen when staff attempted to move him. On 9/13, staff were able to slip a leash on him and eventually pick him up and carry him without a muzzle. Once placed in his new kennel, he immediately returned to hiding his face. His notes describe a dog trying desperately to hide and make himself small. Moon Ray needs an experienced rescue and a quiet environment where he can decompress at his own pace.
