Lucky is quite literally a miracle. He was found abandoned at the gates of the AFOT sanctuary in November 2023, extremely weak and emaciated, and was moments from death. He collapsed in front of one of our carers and had to be rushed for urgent veterinary care. Against all odds — including a diagnosis of distemper — Lucky survived, and has made a full recovery thanks to round-the-clock love and care.

Now, Lucky is a truly beautiful boy. He’s a medium-sized mixed breed with a long, soft fawn-and-black coat and a gorgeous bushy tail. A unique-looking pup, he’s beginning to come out of his shell and is now joining in with playtime and walks. He is good on a lead and has excellent recall.

Because of his history of extreme hunger and neglect, Lucky guards his food and is fed separately. This is understandable, and ongoing support and patience will be key. He can live as an only dog or with a calm, friendly resident female.

Lucky adores his foster mum and thrives on cuddles, attention, and belly rubs. However, he can be wary of new people and will need time and space to adjust in a new environment. He has not been tested with children or cats, so we recommend a home without either.

Lucky has come a long way and is now ready for a forever home where he can continue to heal and grow in confidence. He’s still learning how to enjoy life, and his adopters will be giving a second chance to a dog who was nearly lost. In return, he will offer loyalty, affection, and a truly inspirational story of survival.

All our dogs, including Lucky, are tested for Brucella, Leishmaniasis, Anaplasma, Heartworm, and E-Canis before travel. Signed vet certificates and test results will be provided to adopters.

Lucky has been through so much, and now he’s patiently waiting for a family to call his own. Could that be you?
