Meet Lucy! She is the latest addition to our sanctuary family. Lucy is a 15 year old Beagle. Her momma has been on dialysis since 2018 and is really sick right now. She has had Lucy since she was a puppy. She is not able to care for Lucy anymore and was heart broken to surrender her to us.
Lucy is UTD on vaccines and spayed. We will be getting her to our vet soon. Lucy is sweet and is already making friends with Pork Chop, Albus and Bill. She’s scared and sad but eating well and getting the hang of things around here. Welcome to our family, sweet girl! You will be ok.
Update 2024-03-24: Once again, we’ve been struggling with the right words all week to write this. We had to say goodbye to our sweet Lucy on Monday, 3/24. She turned sweet 16 last Friday. Lucy had a great day! She got a visit from her previous family.
Her health started to decline through the weekend. We think she had another stroke/vestibular event on Monday. She couldn’t stand up, she was biting at the air and her one eye was droopy. Lucy loved to lie outside in the leaves in the sun. So her foster mom sat outside with her for several hours letting her enjoy the beautiful weather one last time. Her foster mom and Stephanie were with her, holding her, kissing her, talking to her. Lucy laid her head on her favorite stuffed unicorn toy (that she had had since she was 2 months old) and passed peacefully into heaven.
Lucy was so sweet and gentle. She liked all of her foster siblings, especially Renegade. We truly believe we had her as long as we did due to the wonderful care her foster mom gave her. Thank you Miss Roberta! And thank you to Brittany, Kaitlyn and Dr. Zaniker @vcacompanion for showing Lucy such love, gentleness, kindness and compassion. We miss you Lucy. You are with all the Angel babies now!
