Lucky was picked up as a stray on the busy streets of Los Angeles and taken to an overcrowded city shelter in West Valley.  Lucky was at high risk for euthanasia because he was a senior with multiple medical issues, so he was rescued by our partner rescue group, Life 4 Paws.  He was in rough shape and his left eye had to be surgically removed because there was a tumor behind it.  Lucky made a full recovery and spent several months in a foster home in LA, but there were no adoption prospects, so he was flown to British Columbia in search of his forever home.  Lucky finally found his dream home with a fabulous young couple in North Vancouver. He goes to work with his dad every day and is enjoying many brave adventures with his new family.

***An update from Lucky's family:

"Lucky's doing great!  He's getting more active.  The other day I took him to the dog park.  At first I had him on the leash but later gained more confidence and he followed me without the leash and said, "Hi" to the other friendly dogs.  He sleeps with us all night and usually I have to wake him up in the morning to get ready for work.  He loves coming out with me to work and enjoying the fresh air.

I'll send you more pictures, stay in touch."
 

Sadly, only a couple of months after he was adopted, Lucky's health deteriorated and he made his journey to the Rainbow Bridge.
