fend for themselves. Mostly feral and extremely shy, Lucy
was accompanied by her 6 puppies, all of which were soon
adopted. We knew it would take months of rehabilitation for
Lucy and so our Adoption Manager kindly took her home
and worked with her. Lucy made tremendous progress in
our manager’s care, her self-confidence blossoming every
day.
Soon it was time for Lucy to meet a family that expressed
interest in her, mainly because they had adopted one of her
puppies and felt the two should be together. This family
agreed to foster Lucy, knowing that in her case, she would
need extra time to adjust to their home.
The son in the family suffers from medical-related
seizures. One night, the mother was awakened by Lucy on
her bed and pawing her. So uncharacteristic of Lucy, the
mother couldn’t imagine what was wrong until she went
to check on her son and realized he was having a seizure. Paid Advertisement
