Handsome Lucky hasn’t had much luck in his life ... until now. 
You see, sadly, Lucky had an owner for most of his life who didn’t let him live inside, didn’t take him to the vet and didn’t think he deserved good food.
When she dumped him at a high kill shelter earlier this spring in North Carolina they told her he would not go to the adoption floor. He was 10 years old, unaltered and heartworm positive. Her response was, “he’s old; might as well euthanize him”. 
Luckily some nice people shared him; (along with his brother Jack) we saw them, found fosters, and they soon made the long journey to Plp. The first foster wanted him gone in hours; the second foster home he escaped and was missing for two weeks, then he escaped again the day he was returned.  We spent countless stressful hours searching for Lucky and was so relieved when he turned up at the county shelter. 
 Luckily we had a tag on him the second time. (He had just arrived the first time and hadn’t even been to the vet.) 
We took Lucky to adoption events and we overheard people saying, “ he’s cute, but too old.” Poor Lucky couldn’t get a break! 
A few weeks ago someone messaged the page asking about him stating he looked like her late dog... we certainly didn’t get our hopes up after 6 months of Lucky being with us but it turned out to be a match made in heaven!!  
Lucky and his new mom Susan are now two peas in a pod and love each other so much! It’s the perfect home for our sweet fella! 
It might take awhile but we believe every dog has a home out there; we just have to find it. 
Congrats Susan and Lucky! Our hearts are so full! Our boy finally “got Lucky!” ðThank you Renee, Danielle, Faith,  Joan, Sandy, Rikke and Jan for being his angels during his path to his forever HOME! We also thank everyone who shared and donated to his care. It takes a village. 
I visited Lucky today and he is one happy boy! -  this is why rescue matters!! Thank you all!-Angela
