LUCY - Blind

LUCY

LUCY - Before she lost her eyes

LUCY is currently in Lebanon. Once we find an adopter for her, she will come to Canada.
LUCY is a happy, healthy, sweet girl. She is trusting and incredibly friendly. 
LUCY was shot in the eyes by her owner in Lebanon. He claimed it was a mistake and wanted to euthanize her. He saw her as obsolete for hunting or breeding. Hunting dogs like LUCY are often (but not always) treated as "tools" in Lebanon and are viewed as disposable. Once their owners are done with them, they are abused, shot or discarded by the side of a road. In LUCY's case, she was shot and left to suffer for 4 months before her owner brought her to a vet to end her life.
Fortunately for LUCY, GAEA Animal Welfare was at the same vet as the owner when he brought LUCY to be euthanized. The vet refused to do so and argued with the owner stating LUCY could still lead a dignified life with the proper care. Without hesitation, GAEA intervened and took LUCY in their care. LUCY was rushed to the best veterinary team in Lebanon - an eye specialist, internist and a surgeon. Sadly, it was too late to treat LUCY's eyes and they had to be removed as LUCY was suffering tremendously from high pressure in both eyes.
Personality:  Friendly, social with people, social with dogs, affectionate, playful, trusting, calm, confident.
LUCY is a very special girl. In spite of everything that's happened she is very affectionate and will make a great companion. She is good with kids but do remember that a quieter home would be best for this girl as she is now blind. LUCY truly deserves to find a loving Forever Home where she will be treasured as an invaluable family member.
Currently lives at a paid foster home.
