Goodbye beloved Lucas

In shock and pain, we say goodbye to our sweet little guy, Lucas.

Lucas was given up by his owners a year ago, at the age of 12. The person who gave him up said he didn’t get along with the other dog in the house so at night she had to keep him closed in a separate toom. Lucas kept barking and disturbing the neighbors so at the age of 12 he found himself heartbroken, crushed at the shelter.

It was hard at first to get close to this little guy. He was very suspicious of people and it was clear he hadn’t had an easy life. But as time passed he realized e was surrounded by kind people, he opened up, we fell in love and desperately wanted to find him a home that would mend his broken heart.

We posted about him dozens of times but had so few adoptions in general, and specifically for older dogs.

Last winter, despite the heating and the blankets, Lucas, who had been used to a home all his life, got pneumonia and was never quite the same. He kept going in and out of the hospital until finally his little body said ‘no more’ and he passed away.

His death was a real blow to us, perhaps he was a small dog, which people always prefer, we truly though he’d make it out.

We miss you, you funny little guy. You’ve left a big whole in our hearts.
