Lucky seems like he has no reason to enjoy life at first. All the owners have neglected it and no one wanted it.
Lucky was born in a puppy factory and never found anyone to love him. It was always abandoned.
The reason was his deformed face.
Lucky went from one place to another all his life and never had a permanent home. It passed from one owner to another, but no one kept it forever.
Over the years, Lucky has had plenty of owners, but not one of them really attended to his needs properly. Most recently, he lived with a family in Austin, Texas, but he was sadly neglected and left to fend for himself.
Since the family cat didn’t like Lucky, he had to stay outside 24 hours a day.
He was left in the yard, tied to a tree, without proper food or a comfortable place to sleep. The idea of being fussed, or getting the care and love a dog might usually benefit from in a home, was out of the question.
When the family decided to move, the call was made to get rid of Lucky without a second thought.
They contacted a dog shelter in the area. Volunteers from the shelter began looking for a new place for him to stay, while Lucky was left with his ‘family’ until they moved house.
The animal shelter finally found a new family who were willing to foster Lucky. Sadly, it didn’t take long for them to change their minds; one look at Lucky’s face saw them back out of the move.
Fortunately, a post on social media changed everything.
One of the volunteers took Lucky to get groomed before posting some photos of him.
A post eventually came to the attention of Jamie Hult, who asked to meet the dog straight away.
“It just happened to be somebody in my dog rescue world, so right away I contacted him and said ‘I want that dog. I don’t even want to foster it, I wanna take that dog,” Jamie told.
Unfortunately, Lucky wasn’t in good condition. After several years of mistreatment and neglect, he suffered from malnutrition, among other things.
He was riddled with fleas and worms and had never been microchipped.
Jamie was so firm on her stance of helping Lucky, that she knew she’d do whatever it took to restore his health.
“It was a touch-and-go and we almost lost him once. I said to myself, ‘I don’t care – for this particular dog just do whatever you need to and I will pay whatever it is. Don’t hold back.’ And he made it. He’s healthy. He’s in the free and clear.”
With the help of veterinarians and Jamie’s huge heart, Lucky managed to turn things around. He’s now doing brilliantly!
From the moment he adopted him, he had many negative comments from people about the way he looked.
Lucky is, by all accounts, a carefree and affectionate dog. He takes good care of his younger sister and has also helped to raise the kittens Jamie adopted.
