My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lucky is a 2.5 y/o. female Chihuahua who came to us as a transfer from animal control. Upon arrival Lucky presented with cough, limping and was underweight. Nonetheless, she was sweet, engaging and interactive with humans and other dogs. Initial veterinary consultation reveal that her right back leg was fractured, she was heartworm positive and required dental treatment. Lucky was fully vetted, treated for her dental problems and scheduled for heartworm treatment. Per veterinarian's recommendation she was kept in total rest for about a month. After this month, was was reevaluated and the recommendation was made to consider surgery for her leg. Given tha her heartworm condition had not been addressed, this was given priority and she underwent heartworm treatment and is now heartworm free. Once recovered from the heartworm treatment, she was scheduled for surgery, the attending veterinarian determined her situation was of such complexity that even with surgery the use of the leg would be hampered, recommending amputation. Her right back leg was amputated and she is now a tripod. Lucky presents no difficulty ambulating, playing and/or interacting with humans or other dogs with her three legs.

If interested in offering Lucky a forever home, please complete/submit this form: https://form.jotform.com/230252232295145 Just so you know a fenced-in yard and home visit are required. Lucky will only be adopted to households where children are over 9 years old.

More about this shelter

You Can Make A Difference, Inc. is the final phase in a journey that began many years ago. After years of aiding other organizations to achieve the goal of preventing animal abuse we decided to create our own organization.

It was the realization that only if we stop the birth of unwanted animals that the vicious cycle of animal neglect, abuse and abandoned would eventually be stopped that moved us to establish the organization.

We hope that together we can make a difference in the lives of many animals while at the same time educate others in responsible pet parenting. It is time for all who have been touched by the unconditional love that animals can provide to start to "pay forward."

Our organization is geared to serve residents in Gadsden County, Florida. Gadsden County is the second poorest county in the state of Florida. There is no animal shelter in the county, only a high kill facility.
