Lucille
In February 2024, we took two puppies with head wounds. In Lucille's case, the injury was not too severe, but there is always a risk of infection with open wounds. She made it through her early months, and a Distemper lockdown at the Sanctuary, and is now a happy, energetic dog waiting for her new home.

Lucille's Story
On 22 February 2024, we fund a pair of puppies abandoned near the Sanctuary. We named them Dezi and Lucille. Her head wound was slight compared to Dezi's, but we can't take chances with such young dogs, and gave her the same treatment as him.

Sadly for them both, their early months after recovery coincided with another outbreak of Distemper in the Sanctuary, and so they missed their window when most of our dogs are adopted - early puppyhood. This is such a shame, and a pressing problem for us, as the months slip by they become less attractive to most potential adopters. There's no real logic behind this - after all, the character and nature of a young dog becomes apparent as they approach adulthood, so a potential adopter has a much clearer idea of the temperament of their new family member.

They've also made it through their difficult early months and built some immunity - as they've made it this far given the beginnings many of them have had, then chances are they'll continue to be a robust and healthy animal now they are adults.
Lucille is an affectionate, energetic young lady and gets on well with other dogs, especially other young ones!
