This is Lucky or
Peaches or Princess. Whatever you might choose to call this extremely sweet
pup, Lucky is not really appropriate now. Life has not been good for this 1
and 1/2 y/o Pittie mix girl. As is often the case
in rescue, we have no idea what happened in Lucky's
life until about 2 months ago, when she was hit by a car driven by strangers.
It was late one night on a country road and the impact of the blow to Lucky's head shattered the fog light on the strangers'
car. Lucky was taken to a nearby farmhouse and was subsequently taken to AC
in Columbia, Missouri the next day. AC took her to the Central Missouri
Humane Society, which treated the injuries to her head and paw, but informed
the strangers that Lucky would be euthanized within 7days without rescue
because Pits could not be adopted from the shelter. The strangers located a
local rescue to pull Lucky from the shelter and adopted her. If Lucky's story
ended here, it would be a happy one. She has a family who thinks she is an
amazing pup and loves her very much. She has recovered from her injuries with
the exception of her hearing, because now Lucky is completely deaf. Still,
Lucky has learned some hand signals and is happy and secure in the home that
she has had since September 4th. She lives with a 3 y/o male Beagle and a 10
y/o male Lab. Even when the Beagle plays too rough, Lucky does not object,
but just walks away. She is curious, but not aggressive toward cats and loves
kids. She is her dad's favorite dog! She is UTD on all her vaccinations, is microchipped and was spayed about 2 weeks ago. She needs
to be HW tested. The problem for Lucky is that she is the
third dog in a rental home that belongs to a family member who no longer
wants her there, and who has decided that she needs to be out of the home
NOW!! If rescue is not found for this pup immediately, she will be returned
to CMHS where she will be euthanized within 7 days, solely because of her
breed!! We cannot allow that to happen to this amazing pup!! Please contact
if you can help us save Lucky's life!! If you
cannot help her directly, please forward Lucky's
info on to all your friends and contacts in rescue who
may be able to help her!! Please don't let this precious dog die
alone at the shelter after all that she has managed to go through and survive
in her short life!! Help us find rescue in time to save this wonderful dog's
life!! Then you can name her anything you want or maybe you'll just call her
Lucky..... Thank you so very much for your help!! KiKi and the
Dogs of Independence Group |
