🌟🐾 Adoption Pending 🐾🌟
We have a potential adopter for this sweet boy. Stay tuned. We are very grateful to everyone who applied, reached outed with interest, and especially to all who shared this post. If the placement does not work, we will return to some of our other applicants. Thanks again to this wonderful community.

🐾 Yuka Kiyo (Galen) – Senior NAID Looking for His Forever Home 🐾

Meet Yuka Kiyo, formerly Galen! We have recently given him his new name in ceremony to mark his new journey in life. Yuka Kiyo means "Liberty" in Choctaw, and that is what we wish for the rest of his life: liberty to be himself, and to rise to his full potential as a true Medicine Dog!

Yuka Kiyo a beloved senior Native American Indian Dog who has spent his life contributing to the breed he represents so beautifully. Born Galen of NEF at Night Eyes Kennels in California on August 1, 2017, Yuka Kiyo (Galen) has lived with several NAID breeders over the years before coming to us just a year ago at Corn Moon Medicine Dogs. After producing many beautiful, healthy puppies (with Night Eyes NAIDs, Native American Kennels, and Indian Valley Kennels) who now bring joy to families across the country, it’s time for him to enjoy a well-earned retirement as someone’s cherished companion.

About Yuka Kiyo:
✨ Breed: Native American Indian Dog (NAID)
✨ Age: 8 years
✨ Will come to his new home neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations (titers to prove immunity will be drawn)
✨ Rabies medical waiver provided — no further vaccinations needed due to age and positive titers
✨ Healthy, active, and full of love to give

Yuka Kiyo has spent most of his life in kennel environments, so being a true “house dog” will be new for him. Over the past year in foster care with Corn Moon, he’s made wonderful progress:

Walks nicely on a leash

Crate trained and enjoys a comfy platform bed

Learning sit and other basic manners

Loves people, gets along with other dogs (especially females), and likely to do well with cats

Polite and non-destructive

Personality:
Affectionate, intelligent, and eager to bond. He may be a bit shy when first meeting someone new, but he warms up quickly with kindness and consistency. His prey drive is low, his energy is moderate, and he’s equally happy joining you on errands or lounging by your side.

Special Considerations:
Because this good boy has been an intact male all his life, he does have some marking habits. We’ve been working on this with success and can guide his new family in continuing that progress. Neutering will likely help this to resolve, too. He’ll do best with a patient adopter who can give him time to adjust to home life.

Adoption Details:

Adoption fee: $350

Location preference: Carolinas, Smoky Mountain, or SE region (we want to provide support), however, all areas with interested adopters will be considered!

First right of refusal will be retained by Corn Moon Medicine Dogs

All adult adoptions with Corn Moon require a 30–90 day foster period before finalizing, to ensure the best match

Adoption fee collected only after foster period if both parties agree it’s a fit

If you have room in your heart and home for a truly special dog who has given so much to his breed, Yuka Kiyo will give you back far more love than you could imagine.

📌 Interested?
Fill out our application at cornmoonkennels.com and select “puppy application” and note that you’re applying for Yuka Kiyo. We’d also be happy to schedule a phone interview to answer questions and share more about him.

Help us find this sweet, good, deserving boy the loving retirement he deserves. 💛

✨ The Medicine Song Litter Has Been Named ✨

These sacred pups have received their names in ceremony. 🌿🐾

Each one carries a prayer, a purpose, and a healing song.

Their names are not chosen lightly. They are spoken into the soul, calling forth the medicine they were born to carry.

Normally, this ceremony happens around 3 weeks old...But this season brought challenges. Some of you know I’ve been healing from a serious reaction to venomous bites while berry picking 🍓🦟 and managing an intense summer on the land. Your patience has meant more than I can say. Thank you for waiting so kindly.

Now, at last, meet the Medicine Song Litter:

🌟 Ohma Fickik Billia – As the Stars Forever
💥 Litʋffi Tʋlisopa – He Breaks the Chains
💧 Kʋlih Hofobi – The Wellspring
⚡ Hiloha – The Thunderbird
🌈 Yukpali – The Blessing
🛡️ Ilauweli – The Sentinel
🌿 Itti̱ Nan Aiya – The Reconciliation
🕊️ Nuktʋla – The Solace

Each name holds a sacred story. Each pup carries a gift.

As always, What is Sacred is Secret. These photos were taken after their names were spoken in prayer.

Welcome, little ones. May your lives be a blessing. May your songs bring the healing. You are Medicine.🪶

🌲 Guardian Home Opportunity – Meet Haklo! 🌲

We’re looking for a very special guardian home anywhere in the New England area for Haklo, a stunning 4-year-old Native American Indian Dog.

Haklo is even-tempered, people-loving, dog-friendly, house-trained, and knows his basic commands. He’s affectionate, food- and praise-motivated, and thrives with companionship. He’s also fully health tested (hips & elbows, DNA panel clear, thyroid clear, microchipped, and vet-checked).

✨ While Haklo has had less training time over the past year due to our rescue work, Seven Sisters in Massachusetts is offering to provide support with manners, e-collar training, or even some service dog work—based on the goals of his new family.

This is a guardian home arrangement, meaning:
• You receive Haklo at no cost
• You help transport him to Seven Sisters for short breeding visits (likely 2x/year)
• After a couple of years, full ownership transfers to you, no strings attached

If you love the NAID breed or want to skip the wild puppy phase and bring home a young adult who’s ready to settle into family life, we want to hear from you!

DM us to get started with our Guardian Home Questionnaire and a phone interview.

📍 New England applicants only, please!
📣 Familiarity with the breed is a plus but not required. What matters most is heart and commitment.

🐦 Sacred Animal Sunday: The White-Breasted Nuthatch 🐦

Our little story of sacred persistence, protection, and unexpected blessings

A few weeks ago, something unusual happened beside our milking stand. Uri opened our grain bucket and found it mysteriously stuffed full of twigs, moss, and dried leaves. He thought someone might be playing a trick on us. But the moment I saw it, I knew—it was a nest. Tiny builders had chosen our grain bucket as the cradle for their future young.

Uri gently dumped it out, uncertain, and the nest was lost. But the next morning, when I lifted the grill hood again, I saw the same determined birds had returned and rebuilt, layer by layer, twig by twig. They didn’t give up. They didn’t even hesitate. They simply began again.

Moved by their persistence, I placed a little cardboard box beneath the grill hood and gently transferred the new nest inside. To my amazement, they accepted the offering. Now, whenever we go to milk the goats, the little white-breasted nuthatches perch nearby and wait calmly, quietly, until we leave. Then they return to their babies: five delicate, pink-speckled eggs the size of jelly beans...safe, warm, and hidden in plain sight.

🌿 Nuthatch Medicine Teachings:

The White-Breasted Nuthatch teaches us sacred lessons in:

Resilience: the ability to begin again without bitterness or fear.

Resourcefulness: using what is available, even the unexpected, to build something sacred.

Protection: choosing hidden, out-of-the-way places to safeguard what is most precious.

Trust: accepting help from others while still following their own rhythm and instincts.

In some Native teachings, birds are messengers. Bridges between Earth and Spirit. The nuthatch, with its curious habit of walking headfirst down a tree, reminds us to change our perspective, to see from angles others miss, and to move intentionally, not just instinctively.

Uri and I have been carrying many heavy burdens lately with the realities of having a farm and being the only caretakers for it. It is such a good life, but it is far from easy on many, many days. This tiny bird came to us during a season of overwhelm and transition...a time when our own rhythms were being stretched. And just like the nuthatch, we are learning how to adapt, protect what matters, and trust the unseen hand guiding us to safety.

Look! The nest beneath the grill hood. Five little speckled eggs, nestled in a gift of grace.

🌟 Announcing the Birth of the Medicine Song Litter! 🌟

We are overjoyed to share that Ahyoka has given birth to a beautiful litter of 8 puppies! These little ones are incredibly special, carrying the unique healing energy of their father, Ipo, a remarkable medicine dog who has overcome a deeply challenging past. Ipo’s resilience, joy, and strength in the face of adversity are now being passed down to his puppies, and we are so excited for the healing journey they will offer.

As always, we begin by reaching out to those on our waiting list. Our list is currently full through 2025 and into part of 2026, but we are offering this opportunity to anyone on the list who might want to move up and welcome one of these special puppies into their lives sooner. We also welcome new inquiries, and if you are considering a Native American Indian Dog (NAID) and feel drawn to this litter, we would love to hear from you!

How to Apply
If you’re interested, please visit our website and read through our blogs to learn more about the Native American Indian Dog and its unique traits. After doing your research, if you feel that this is the right breed for you, please fill out our puppy application. If you know us personally and have been thinking about a NAID, please contact us before submitting your application so we can keep an eye out.

A Unique Healing Gift
This litter is unlike any we have had before. Due to Ipo's ongoing Medicine Journey, we performed a very special ceremony for these puppies at their birth. They carry a different kind of medicine: one meant for deep emotional and spiritual healing. We believe these puppies will bring restoration to those seeking to heal from deep wounds, and we know they have the ability to support families through transformational change.

We truly believe that the families who are waiting for these puppies have been chosen by the Creator, and we trust that the remaining puppies will find their perfect match: someone who needs the unique medicine they will offer. If you feel drawn to this litter and believe that one of these puppies could bring healing into your life, take a moment to reflect and pray about it, and if you feel called, we invite you to apply.

The Medicine Song Litter
These puppies are not just pets; they are healers, messengers of strength and joy. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to raise them and see the medicine they will carry unfold. If this speaks to you, we invite you to join us on this powerful journey. 🙏

We look forward to hearing from you and witnessing the lives these puppies will touch.

🌿🐝 Sacred Animal Sunday: The Bees 🐝🌿

Today, we honor one of the most sacred beings on Earth: the honeybee.

This week, I harvested nearly 5 gallons — about 40 pounds — of golden honey. But around here, honey isn’t the goal. It’s the gift.

Our beekeeping isn’t production-focused. We don’t use queen excluders to force tidy honey supers. We don’t manage bees for maximum yield. Instead, we practice what I call reciprocal agriculture — a way of living that understands we are not above nature, but within it.

I feed the bees. The bees pollinate our food.
They give to me. I give to them.
That is the rhythm.

Honey is sacred — not a product, but a sacrament. I take only what the bees can spare, and I do so with gratitude. Because bees were never created for us. Bees are goina bee, no matter what humans do.

And what they do is miraculous.

Bees are architects, alchemists, messengers, and midwives to creation itself. Their pollination sustains 80% of flowering plants. Without them, most life would wither. They sing in sacred geometry. They navigate by the sun. Their hive mind is a blueprint for community.

And honey?
It never spoils. It heals wounds. It contains natural enzymes, antimicrobial properties, and trace elements that speak to the land it was born from. Raw honey can soothe a cough, nourish the skin, and even assist in seasonal allergy relief. But more than that — it is the memory of every bloom they’ve ever kissed.

So today, may we remember:

🐝 Bees are not ours to own.
🌼 Honey is not ours to claim.
🌿 It is an offering — one we should be humbled to receive.

And yes, that is me...and those are my bees. 😇

🌿 Is your vet actually holistic?

Not all vets who use the word “holistic” are practicing true holistic medicine — and if you’ve ever walked into a clinic only to be met with pressure for unnecessary vaccines, a recommendation for processed kibble, or an eye-roll when you mention raw feeding or homeopathy… you already know the feeling. 🥴

I just published a new blog post to help you tell the difference — and avoid wasting time, money, or trust on someone who doesn’t walk the talk.

💡 Learn the red flags, the real green flags, and the exact questions you can ask before you ever book an appointment.

🐕 Because your dog deserves care that honors their biology, not battles it.

Sacred Animal Sunday: The Deer 🦌

In Choctaw, deer is issi. A doe is issi tek, a stag is issi nakni, and a fawn is issushi.
We speak their names with reverence.

The deer come to what we call our territory. Some would call it our "property," but we prefer territory, as it evokes not a sense of ownership, but a sense of belonging. This is a shared sacred space where peace is kept and life is honored. In the warmer months, they drink from our creek, graze beneath our trees, and raise their young near our homestead. We offer them safety and quiet.

In return, during the seasons of scarcity, they offer themselves — not just as food, but as medicine.

In the traditions of the Southeastern Indians, deer medicine is the embodiment of gentleness, alertness, grace, and sacrifice. The deer teaches us to walk softly in the world, to move with intention, and to keep our hearts open even in the face of danger.

Their presence is a reminder that true power often wears the cloak of humility.

Today, we honor the sacred deer — issi — and give thanks for the harmony between our two-legged and four-legged kin.

Sacred Animal Sunday: The Quail

She is small, quiet, and often overlooked—but the quail carries powerful medicine. On our land, she teaches us about humility, protection, and deep-rooted intuition. Quail energy is maternal, alert, and grounded. She moves low to the earth, not to hide in fear, but to live wisely—attuned to her environment, guided by knowing.

At Corn Moon, we honor the sacred role of every animal, and the quail is no exception. She is not only a symbol—she is a provider. Her eggs are rich in nutrients. Her meat is delicate, clean, and nourishing. For those beginning the journey toward self-sufficiency, quail offer a surprisingly sustainable alternative to chickens. They require less space, mature quickly, and give generously.

In a world that often prizes what is loud and flashy, the quail reminds us that gentleness, simplicity, and sustenance are forms of sacred power.
