Lucky was found by a man who found injured and laying in the dirt. Thankfully, they were not serious and she's back on her feet again and feeling spunky!!!
Lucky is now looking for her furever family...will you be that special someone to foster or adopt her? She would be happiest in a home where her family is home most of the day to give her lots of attention.

Foster Update 1/16/15

Lucky is a good girl and continues to be little Miss Independent.    She spends much of the day sleeping in her crate or a dog bed.   Her crate door is open all day so she can go in and out when she wants.    She is very vocal and tells us if she needs to go out, wants water or is hungry!   She is a very delicate little girl and needs to be in a home without young children.   She still is not a fan of being held or on a lap.   She will happily sleep in bed at night but still keeps a distance - she likes her space!

Lucky is recovering from her spay surgery and hernia repair.   She is so tiny and thin that we have been giving her some extra food mid-day, making 3 meals daily.    She might be small but she is fierce when she wants to be!    If one of the other dogs tries to play with her and she does not want to, she definitely lets them know!    She has been feeling much better since her surgery and it is so nice to see her tail curled up over her back and wagging!    She still is not big on being picked up or held but does like to know where you are.   She will go into her crate or on to one of the dog beds and sleep a large part of the day.    She is adorable!

Lucky is a real sweetie!  She is very tiny and delicate and would do best in a home without younger children.   She is not a huge fan of being held or on a lap.   She likes to be right near "her people" but doesn't like to be held for long periods of time.   She is very sensitive to the cold weather.    She is a good eater and gets quite vocal at mealtime - ours or hers!    She does not get any food other than dog food and is learning that begging will get her nowhere.     She has some interesting talking noises when she wants something!
