Lucky - A plea for home for dog shot at Bamboo Markets
Posted: Tue 11 Mar 2014 11:53 am
Re Lucky, people have asked to see the original post which is below. My post asked for people to find a home for & it's self-explanatory. I personally haven't made any of the promises mentioned by Sophie, although I don't know what has been said verbally by others. Lucky may have fallen between the cracks as the person who kindly tracked Lucky down after she was shot, took her to the vet's, organised her care, raised funds for vet care, looked after at his home but unfortunately wasn't able to cope with the four dogs he had already, had to go overseas for health checks. I imagine that many thought Lucky had been given a forever home, but obviously not.
So I'd like to repeat my request - please help this unfortunate dog can find a kind, loving home which hopefully will help her recover from the trauma of her puppy days.
Here's my original post:
"I know appeals to home animals on the main page annoy some people, and I do apologise in advance for landing this request here, but Lucky really has had a bad time of it, and we are desperate to find her a new home after what she's been through.
Lucky and her sister belonged to the Vietnamese couple who had to return to their country when the Bamboo Beach project collapsed as Al Green Jnr hadn't paid their work permits. A friend of ours, Steve, organised food for the two who continued living at the beach until KAR picked them up. Sadly, my husband, who was helping to feed them, found a huge amount of blood one morning and we found out later that the smaller puppy had been shot and killed, while Lucky had been wounded. Steve found Lucky eventually, but only found out later that she'd been shot and not attacked by a bigger dog but she did recover while staying at Steve's house. Unfortunately, Steve already has four dogs and some cats who found a young puppy hard to handle. So when she was picked up by KAR to be spayed, Steve asked them to keep her. However, KAR say they can't keep her and that they eventually intend to drop her off at Lapta but she's been given two weeks' grace. A couple did visit KAR with a view to adopting Lucky, but KAR couldn't locate her.
Lucky isn't a street dog, she'll have a hard job surviving. She is a medium-sized Staffie cross, a beautiful, affectionate, loving dog who is house-trained but needs to be trained to walk on the lead. When my husband went to see her, she remembered him from the beach and gave him such a loving welcome. We would have taken her ourselves but we already have four rescue dogs who are all pretty big, plus 3 cats and we live in an apartment so we've reached our limit.
If there is anyone who could provide a kind home for this pooch who has gone through so much, Steve, his wife, myself and my husband would be so relieved and delighted. Lucky is currently at the KAR kennels, in (I understand) kennel 12. My phone number is: 05338472437, and Steve's is: 05338750829."
I hope this clarifies some of the situation around Lucky's plight.
