12/23/24 – On December 18 I posted Lucky’s story. The little guy who wisely but painfully followed children to their home. The mom took Lucky to a clinic where it was determined that he would need an amputation.

Lucky had his surgery with one of our partner veterinary clinics on December 18. I recently received an update on Lucky’s surgery and. he is doing great and getting lots of love. Here’s his post op photos. Much thanks to the wonderful family who saved Lucky and to our generous donors. –

12/18/24 – Prayers for Lucky who will have amputation surgery tomorrow,

December 19. Lucky very wisely but painfully followed some young children home and they fell in love with him. The mom contacted us to say that she had thought Lucky had a broken leg so she took him to a vet where it was confirmed that he would need his leg amputated.

Unfortunately, the family couldn’t afford such an unplanned expense and contacted us. Fortunately, because of the generosity of our supporters, we were able to say yes. Because of our supporters, some very sweet and caring children will have a beautiful Christmas with their new little buddy who they named Lucky.

Please don’t forget that there is a $1,000 Match Campaign in progress through December 25. Your Christmas gift will make a difference in the lives of many fur orphans on our streets.

9/24/24 – Lucky was rescued when seen on the shoulder of I94. The poor baby was frightened and actually bit his rescuer (she was seen by a doctor and treated) but once Christal took Lucky home with her he calmed down and loved the attention. Christal took him to All About Animals to be vaccinated in that she has other pets but they could only give him age (9-10 weeks) appropriate vaccines.

But, the doctor did suspect that Lucky’s leg was broken and was advised to see a full-service veterinary clinic. That is when we were contacted. We authorized Lucky’s visit at Patterson Veterinary Hospital where the doctor confirmed the broken leg but also said that the leg had already healed but not properly. And, Lucky is actually only about 5 weeks old.

At this time, we will be waiting until Lucky is a little older to have a follow up appointment for his leg and at that time he will be vaccinated and neutered. We are praying that Lucky will not need to have his leg amputated but will be able to live and get around with a poorly-healed leg versus a ‘missing one’.

There’s a strong possibility that Christal’s retired mom will adopt Lucky so he will have lots of love and care. Christal will keep me updated. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
