About: Update 12/15/24 We are so sad for Lucy who crossed the Rainbow Bridge today. She was the sweetest soul and we hope she is finding lots of gardens to nap in! We are grateful to both of our volunteers that gave Lucy and her sister Emily a soft place to land, sharing loads of loving care and to the staff at @bulgervethospital for their care and compassion. Rest in peace sweet girl.
Lucy and Emily are 12-year-old sisters in need of a home. They come to us from a very sad situation. Last February we were contacted by a man who was living in his truck. His parents had recently passed, and he had their two beagles living with him. He was doing his best to care for them and himself but knew they couldn't continue living in his truck the way they were. He desperately wanted to keep them as they belonged to his parents but needed to get on his feet first. One of our volunteers graciously offered to privately foster the girls for three months to give him time to find a better situation. Three months turned to six and then eight. In August she found out he was not only still living in his truck but unfortunately had lost his job. Sadly, he ended up surrendering the girls. Our volunteer has several dogs of her own and didn't plan to have the girls as long as she did. After being with her for eight months, it was apparent that they needed a quiet peaceful home instead of a chaotic one with a large pack. The girls were clearly overwhelmed in a home with so many dogs so she asked for help from the rescue.
Both girls are in dire need of a dental. Lucy’s situation is urgent as she has several active infections and several needed extractions. Emily’s situation is less urgent, but still needed as soon as possible. Their dentals are estimated to be $3,000 each. A hefty fee but needed to ensure their retirement years are comfortable.
Lucy and Emily are the sweetest girls you will ever meet. Lucy loves to be outside on nice warm sunny days and especially loves to dive into leaf piles! She could get grumpy at times with too much commotion from the other dogs and prefers mellow dogs to more active ones. She would especially like a very quiet home. Emily loves to get into the flower gardens to find a good resting place, smooshing a flower or two along the way. She loves to be outside and sunbathe in nice warm weather.
Both girls enjoy a comfortable dog bed. They love people, especially those that give ear and butt rubs! They are sweet, affectionate seniors who would love to share your couch and bed. Lucy is about 30 lbs and Emily is about 25 lbs. Both girls are house trained. We would love to place them together, but they are not bonded and could be adopted separately.
The girls are being fostered north of Boston.
