Lucky - In Memory

Name: Lucky

Age: Estimated 4 years

Breed: Unknown

Sex: Female (altered as per caregiver, not yet confirmed)

Location: York, SC

Vet Info: Not vet information available at this time.

Owner Info: An elderly woman who is in and out of the hospital and needs to rehome several dogs.  One is a female named Lucky, "a big breed dog who is blind and diabetic and a senior".  Lucky is currently being cared for by a wonderful woman who is looking after the dogs in the elderly lady's home.  We're told Lucky is very sweet and loving, good with people of all ages, and good with other cats and dogs.  She's housetrained, but does need pee pads at night due to being on a diuretic for her diabetes.  

Update 3/10/15: Lucky is home now but her owner feels that Lucky needs to have a new home.  Her owner broke her neck twice and had knee replacement so she feels she is not in the best position to give Lucky the care she needs.  Lucky is getting her insulin and pills but a new, caring home would be greatly appreciated.​

Update 9/11/15: We've heard from the woman caring for Lucky, and Lucky is in urgent need!
Lucky's caregiver has several health issues and is not able to meet Lucky's needs.  She loves Lucky but feels that the insulin injections and daily needs for Lucky are more than she can handle.  She said Lucky is a very sweet dog and deserves better than what she is getting now.

Update 10/3/15:  Lucky's owner is in desperate need to find Lucky a new home or rescue.  She is physically not able to care for Lucky and cannot afford her medication.  Her owner writes, "I am physically unable to give her the right care she needs, I have had a broken neck in the last year and have no help and cannot afford her medication and vet visits." Lucky is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.   Lucky is a friendly and sweet girl and is good with people of all ages, and other dogs and cats.  She currently lives with other dogs and cats.  She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never bitten or snapped.  Lucky is nervous during thunderstorms and loves to be in a lap until they go away!  Lucky has diabetes, and is on insulin daily.  Her owner also tells us Lucky is blind in both eyes (both eyes are white), but she doesn't know the cause.  Lucky's owner wants us to know, "She is sweet and loving dog."
