When we see a post “Mom and puppies are in a kill shelter will be euthanized for space” We try our best to save them. This is exactly what happened to Sandy and her 6, 3-week old puppies. They were in a kill shelter in Baldwin County Alabama, near the Gulf of Mexico. Sandy and her 6 puppies were pulled minutes before euthanasia on Friday and began their journey to St. Louis. They were going to die for no other reason than “space”. Lucky Chance Rescue could not let that happen. The good news is…We were lucky to have our foster, Lisa, offer to give mama a safe place to raise her babies. Sandy and her 6 puppies took the long 11 hour drive from Alabama to Kirkwood where she and her puppies will be cared for. Now the sad news… Sandy has a “non-functional” left eye and entropion of the upper lid. She will require enucleation (removal of the eye).  You all know we rely on donations for medical care and we definitely need your help!!

Beautiful, sweet Lucy came to our rescue yesterday after living her life on a chain. She escaped often and kept winding up at the pound so the family asked for rescue to take her. We are so glad she came to Lucky Chance Rescue, she is not only gorgeous, but she is also so sweet!  She absolutely loves people, other dogs and kids. Unfortunately, she was never given heartworm preventative and now must endure the long and horrible treatment to cure her.  When she is ready, she will be quite the catch for some lucky adopter. Please consider donating to her treatment. Lucy is now the 5th dog at our rescue undergoing heartworm treatment.  Any amount you can donate will be appreciated.

Sterling AND Silver, these adorable Staffy mix puppies, came to us yesterday on transport from Licking, Missouri with their sisters. They both broke with parvo. 

The unfortunate part of rescue is when we get these helpless puppies who start their lives with this potentially fatal virus.  The fortunate part is when we can treat them and save them from almost certain death had they not come to rescue.

Silver started showing symptoms yesterday; lethargy, not eating or drinking, vomiting and diarrhea. He made it to the vet just before closing and his snap test came back positive.  He went home with an IV of fluids and medication to treat at home for the night he is back at the vet today for care. Sterling tested positive and has started treatment today.  We pray we caught this early and can save them both! We still have 2 more puppies from this litter we are watching closely!  We desperately need your help! These pups make parvo dog #11 and #12 we have come into our rescue in the last 3 months.  We cannot sustain these kind of medical costs without your help. We are so appreciative and grateful for every dollar you can give! Don’t forget, your donations are tax deductible too!

Whisper came to us from Steele, Missouri Animal shelter where she was in desperate need of a new start to life! She is a sweet girl who was dumped and forgotten by her family and wants to be loved and give love.  She was never given heartworm preventative and now needs expensive and invasive treatment to have a chance to thrive with a new family.  Please consider donating to her treatment.Your donation is tax deductible. Any amount you can donate will be appreciated.
