Bringing Sunshine to the Adoption Event

It was FREEZING on Sunday! Our wonderful volunteers turned out in big numbers to play and show dogs off to help find them their forever homes...

No pun intended... but Lucky Dog brought SUNSHINE to the event to warm up everyones' day. Luckily for her little chihuahua body, she was one of the lucky few allowed in the store to stay warm.

Little Miss Sunshine sat and snuggled in Pam's lap and was loving life. She was so well behaved. Don't let that fool you though, she is a little puppy ball of energy at her fosters home!

Update to the Sunshine!

Sunshine is doing great, eating great, and having a good time! She is doing well on her housebreaking too. For those of you who know that chi's and cold don't mix, that is quite impressive! Sunshine is loving her fosters and curls up under their blanket on the couch and takes little naps. Everyone she meets is in love with her and looks forward little wag.
She has even started using her leg, but we are being really careful to keep her on the leash while she still recovers.
Her first PT session will be in about a week, so everything is progressing well!

Sunshine found a foster!

Special thanks to Dr. Smith at Hayfield Animal Hospital who has agreed to foster little Sunshine!! YAY

Pictures of Sunshine Post-op

Sunshine is doing very well in her first day out of the hospital. She enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, and now is ready for a full time foster or adoptive home!! Here are some pics of her in her winter sweater and e-collar!

Sunshine's Surgery was a success!

Sunshine had a very successful surgery this morning! The break has been repaired, and Sunshine will need to have the pins removed in 4 weeks. She will start her physical therapy this coming week. We're so thrilled that she has such a great prognosis!

Meet Little Miss Sunshine!

Just about 24 hours ago, Lucky Dog received a call from our vet partner, Hayfield Animal Hospital. Animal Control had brought in a 15 week old puppy that had been hit by a car and been very badly injured. She needed surgery, but the owner could not pay. The owner was requesting euthanasia, and the doctors at Hayfield didn't want that to happen. So, the called Lucky Dog!

We sent the x-rays over to Dr Snakard at Dogs & Cats Veterinary Referral Center. After reviewing them, Dr. Snakard told us we should bring her in immediately -- surgery to her hind leg could not wait. So, we rushed Sunshine over to Dogs & Cats where she is currently preparing for her surgery first thing tomorrow morning.

Sunshine's surgery and rehab will likely cost about $4,000. Please consider making a donation to help us cover those costs!
