RESCUE ONLY DEADLINE 5PM MONDAY AUGUST 19, 2024Name: LuckyAnimal ID: A758826Age: 4 yearsWeight: 84.60 lbs. About: Lucky is a four-year-old black and white Lab mix who has had a tumultuous journey. She first arrived at the shelter when her owners could no longer care for her and surrendered her on October 14, 2021. During her time in that home, Lucky lived with three other dogs and a 13-year-old child. However, a tragic incident occurred when Lucky fatally injured the family’s Corgi/Dachshund mix. This led to her brief stay in the shelter, where she was eventually adopted on November 26, 2021.Unfortunately, Lucky`s story took another turn when her new owners were also unable to care for her. They handed Lucky over to a friend, who brought her to their Greyhound rescue. Lucky’s stay there lasted about a week before another unfortunate incident occurred. While the person caring for Lucky was feeding the dogs, one of the Greyhound approached Lucky’s bowl. A fight ensued, and the injuries sustained by the Greyhound were so severe that he had to be euthanized. Following this incident, Lucky was found tied to a fire hydrant. When an officer arrived on the scene, Lucky was very friendly, immediately jumping into the officer’s back seat, eager to go with them.In the shelter, Lucky has been easy to handle. When introduced to other dogs in a playgroup setting, she appeared uncomfortable and stiff but tolerated the other dogs approaching her. She mostly kept to herself, showing more interest in receiving attention from the handlers than interacting with the other dogs. Based on these observations, Lucky might do best as the only dog in a home. If she is to live with other dogs, a proper introduction is crucial, and she should not be around dogs smaller than her or be taken to dog parks. Feeding Lucky separately and picking up empty bowls immediately is important, as well as monitoring for any resource guarding of treats, toys, space, or people.Lucky is a sweet and affectionate dog who needs a stable and loving home, she will need to find placement through a partnered rescue group. While some rescue groups may consider long-term fostering, most are looking for permanent adopters. If you think your home would be a good fit for Lucky, you are encouraged to reach out to a rescue on your own to start their process and have them contact PACC. You must come to PACC before her 5 pm on Friday, August 16 deadline, to meet Lucky. If you are alrea
