It’s a wonder Lucy is still alive today. Lucy, who was rescued about three months ago, was found at a construction site in Bali where numerous canines lived but went missing. Lucy was surprised when her savior noticed her. A fishing line was tightly wound around the little pup’s nose, indicating that she had been captured for the dog meat trade and was ready to be sold and slaughtered for food. Lucy’s rescuer acted quickly and rushed her to the vet for urgent care.

Lucy was found with fishing line wrapped around her snout, severely cutting it. It is believed that the unfortunate dog was destined for the atrocious and cruel meat farms.h-a-n-h

Lucy was later taken to the vet, where the fishing line was removed and she was finally safe, but not out of danger. Because she had a terrible disease called parvovirus, doctors offered her a 50/50 chance of survival. We found a poor dog tied with a fishing line, we saved her from it and helped her heal.h-a-n-h

Lucy was finally in a safe place. But she wasn’t even out of the woods yet. She was diagnosed with the deadly parvovirus and veterinarians gave her a 50/50 chance of surviving. It was difficult for a few days, but after two weeks, Lucy began to show signs of improvement and was allowed to be placed in foster care. After just one day, she started acting abnormally and tested positive for distemper, as if she hadn’t been through enough already. We didn’t believe Lucy would make it, despite her strength. The parvovirus had destroyed her immune system and she was already skin and bones when we found her.h-a-n-h

Lucy began to heal after a lot of hard work and many different illnesses, but she didn’t trust humans at all.

But she defended herself. We syringe-fed her bone broth every few hours and we gave her all the love and care we could because she had no appetite. Lucy had made a complete physical recovery and now she was ready to begin her emotional healing journey. She remained silent and never made eye contact with anyone from the moment she was rescued. She would cower in a corner of her kennel for hours and barely come out to go to the bathroom. She must have gone through a lot of trauma before we found her: she had no faith in humans.h-a-n-h

Lucy gradualmente comenzó a recuperarse de su trauma con la ayuda de veterinarios, padres adoptivos y muchas otras personas.

Lucy ha estado viviendo con Prue, la creadora de Mission Paws’ible, durante los últimos meses y ha mejorado increíblemente. Todavía es cautelosa, pero poco a poco se está convirtiendo en una perrita alegre y vivaz. Adora los zumbidos con sus patas y le gusta tomar el sol. Lucy incluso se sube al sofá y duerme cerca de sus amigas, algo que nunca hizo cuando llegó por primera vez.

Y recuperó la confianza en las personas y otros animales.

Lucy ejemplifica cómo un poco de paciencia y mucho amor pueden ser de gran ayuda. Ella espera un gran y feliz futuro y está buscando su hogar para siempre. Mission Paws’ible está construyendo actualmente el Centro de Curación. Esta clínica brindará a mascotas como Lucy un lugar seguro para descansar y sanar. Comidas crudas naturales, masajes diarios con aceites terapéuticos para perros sin pelo, música de terapia animal, conexión uno a uno con las personas y mucho sol serán parte de sus tratamientos.h-a-n-h

Lucy es la personificación de cómo el amor y la paciencia pueden ser de gran ayuda y salvar una vida.
