Lacy's Future

When Waggytail Rescue saved Lacy, she had been sadly neglected by her former owners. But you would never know this with her sweet and loving personality! She is friendly to everyone she meets, and likes nothing better than to sit in your lap while you pet her. She also loves to play with her foster brothers and sisters (both 4-legged and 2-legged!) and go on walks. While Lacy's personality didn't show the effects of her past neglect, her little body did. Lacy had not been spayed, and probably as a result of this, developed lumps on her mammary glands. Waggytail had her spayed, and the lumps removed and analyzed by our vet. Happily, these lumps were completely benign and cancer-free! Lacy's health will in no way be affected by these in the future, especially as she has been getting tender loving care in her foster home, along with healthy food and top-notch medical attention. She even has sparkly white teeth now, thanks to a professional dental cleaning!

Lacy's left eye had also developed a problem when her care was neglected. She had developed Grade 2 Glaucoma in that eye. Waggytail brought Lacy to a Veterinary Ophthalmologist for repeated visits, and tried to save her eye with expensive drops. Sweet little Lacy never complained or even moved while her eye was being examined! However, after re-evaluating, Lacy's Doctors decided the best thing to do would be to surgically remove her left eye. Her vision had been impaired in that eye already, and one-eyed dogs function just as well as those with two. As you probably know, dogs' other senses (smell, hearing) are much stronger than those of humans. Lacy will not notice her missing eye much, except for feeling a relief from pain and discomfort.

Lacy's health and future are now as bright and happy as her personality! She has been cleared of any outstanding issues by her expert veterinary team, and has many years left to give a new owner as a loving companion. Whoever adopts Lacy will be rewarded with the most bountiful unconditional love they could ever imagine!

Waggytail Rescue is happy to have found Lacy and excited to match this amazing little girl with a new loving owner. We don't regret one penny that we have spent in making Lacy healthy, and ensuring her a happy future. However, we do want to continue to save more deserving dogs like Lacy. Lacy's surgery, specialist visits and medication costs at this point total more than $2,500.
