ABOUT LUCY
Lucy and Charlie, two small brown dogs, were found on railroad tracks in south LA where Charlie lay almost lifeless. Lucy never left Charlie’s side. Both dogs were lucky a Good Samaritan cared enough about them to take them home, who then contacted AALOC for help.
Charlie was rushed to the emergency vet and diagnosed with parvo and pneumonia. He needed critical care including IV medications to keep his blood pressure up and multiple transfusions. Later Lucy began vomiting and was rushed to the ER as well: she was also diagnosed with parvo. Both dogs began receiving monoclonal antibody injections - a new highly effective treatment for parvo. Lucy recovered but Charlie started struggling to breathe and the heartbreaking decision was made to let him pass peacefully.
Lucy misses her brother and needs a new home and humans who will love her forever. We believe Lucy will stay small, about 25 pounds. She is sweet and shy and good with other dogs.
