THIS IS CHANCE!


 He is pictured getting laser therapy!  What a rock star this boy is.  Please read his story below.




Last year on Christmas day, he was hit badly by a car.   He wound up in a shelter with a collapsed lung and a badly broken front leg, along with lots of abrasions and wounds.   Because the expected cost of his care was so high, he was put on the shelter's euthanasia list.   Well, an amazing foster family in Washington state pulled this boy and took him into Lucky Star's care program.  

He was named Chance because he now had a second chance at a good life.   Chance was only about a year old when this happened.  He needed to be kept calm and quiet to let the collapsed lung heal first.   A few weeks later, his lungs were strong enough for anesthesia so that pins and rods and fixators could be put in place to heal his shattered leg.  

His foster family had their hands full for months on end keeping this puppy occupied and calm when all he wanted to do was run and play (which of course was out of the question).   His leg was very slow to heal and after a very long recouperation period of months and months, the fixators were removed.   The amazing vet actually purchased an expensive laser machine specifically to help heal the remaining gaps in the healing bone.   He is now almost one year in foster care!  And almost healed.    While the cost has been expensive, this sweet boy was worth it all.   Many many thanks to all who donated towards his care.    Thanks to you all, he is now able to run and play!!!

MEET WINSTON!




Here is one of the ten rescues we have already taken in this year. Winston is a sweet 9 year old tri boy who has heart problems, cataracts, extremely thin, etc. He is a retired breeder that was extremely neglected. When we picked him up last week, he had a very enlarged abdomen and chest and was coughing a lot. Per our veterinarian protocol for all our rescues, he was immediately taken to the vet for an exam and treatment.

The vet immediately put him on heart meds and asked to see him again in 3 days. At his followup visit to the vet, in just 3 days, 3 lbs. of fluid had already been removed by the meds. It immediately gave him much needed relief. He still has issues that need to be attended to and will be in on-going treatment for a while, but he is in a much better place where he is getting the medical care he desperately needed. He's with an amazing foster!! His future is going to be much better than his past.

If you would like to help Winston get healthy and have a quality new life, please donate towards his vet bills. It would be a huge help to this sweet boy! Our other rescues need your help too! Our donate button is below.

HAPPY SUCCESS Stories

UPDATE:  

Spencer sends a HUGE THANK YOU to all the wonderful people who helped him!  

We are happy to report that Spencer is now healthy.   He sends a huge thank you to all the generous angels who donated to his care.    He also thanks the vets and the volunteers who helped him on his medical journey to health and happiness. We are happy to report that Spencer has found his forever home.   He was adopted by a family who recently lost their Cavalier.  Now he can help them heal too.  Have a great life sweet boy!

 Spencer came to Lucky Star in pretty bad shape. This poor little boy had a huge hole in his leg as well as multiple puncture wounds and abrasions on the rest of his body. He was emaciated, heartworm positive and greatly needed a dental. Spencer had a dental during his neuter, three surgeries to repair his leg and also completed heartworm treatment. He was in foster care for quite a while as he healed. He endured excruciating pain and in true cavalier spirit, he still managed to greet everyone he encounters with a tail wag and lots of kisses!

Hansel and the Gift of Sight

Update! Great news.  Hansel has been adopted to a wonderful new home.   Thank you all for your wonderful gifts to give this boy a normal life with sight.   he is so grateful that he can now see. 

Hansel came to Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue at the age of 6 weeks with severe cataracts, severe respiratory infections and severely malnourished. He struggled to survive for several weeks, but he is a fighter and was determined to pull through.

HANSEL AS A PUP

We had to wait until he was old enough and his eyes were mature enough to have surgery. Our little boy has grown up and is now ready to have cataract surgery. What a trouper this little guy has been! Although he was born with very limited eye sight, and a pretty rough start, this little guy has continued to portray that cavalier spirit that we all know and love. He is the "welcoming committee" where ever he goes and absolutely loves everyone whether they have two legs or four!

HANSEL NOW at 8 mos. old
