Lucia

Lucia & Sharon
LUCIA is one of our Mexican Senorita's that came here from the streets of Mexico. She is our other truly feral dog. The rescue group that we work with there helps dogs that are trapped in the roundups where they collect and kill masses of dogs all at once. This girl arrived at the rescue pregnant with a badly infected leg. She had her puppies upon arrival and then soon after she had to have her leg amputated. Through it all she remained a faithful mom and her puppies ended up in the States in adopted homes. Lucia, scared and alone had nowhere to go so she came to Fur and Feather in 2009. Lucia had to have surgery on her ear in the spring of 2012 and she even rode in the car to the vet! She is very afraid of people but she now tolerates being brushed and moved around in her daily round. She loves her crib in the heated bunkhouse during the winter and enjoys spending her days outside accompanied by other dogs that lay with her and make her feel special. Lucia is a special dog that has found her niche here at FFAA and she will always know where her next meal is coming from.
