The owner of this elderly dog decided she wasn’t worth his time and abandoned her in the rainy parking lot of a church. During a terrible storm, she slept there on the concrete until someone eventually found her there. In Houston, Texas, local rescuers responded to the Good Samaritan’s call and arrived right away. The rescuers had already noticed how terribly injured the unfortunate dog, which they had named Lucy, was. Every bone in her body was visible, and her eyes were weeping from infection.
When Lucy was sent to a veterinary facility, she was classified as a hospice patient. She had diabetes, the veterinarian added. The rescuers sobbed, wishing they had been able to take Lucy in right away. However, she would now at least spend the remainder of her days in peace and comfort.
The rescue team made contact with a woman they believed would be ideal for Lucy.
She would make a good foster home for her because she has experience in hospice care. During her visit to Lucy at the veterinarian, the woman said that she would formally adopt Lucy, allowing her to live out the remainder of her days with her new family.
Seizures started happening to Lucy. Given her declining health, the veterinarian made sure she was as comfortable as possible. She was unable to walk by herself, but her mother and new human pals made sure she spent time resting in the grass and taking advantage of the sunshine.
