A Great Dane mix puppy may have had a “lean” start to life, but has recovered in a remarkably short amount of time, and is now ready to find his forever home.
Arizona Humane Society
Technicians from the Arizona Humane Society transported the puppy to the shelter’s trauma hospital, where veterinarians determined Lucky was dehydrated, extremely emaciated, and suffering from abrasions and sores.
According to his medical evaluation, Lucky was diagnosed with a body score condition of 1 out of 9 (1 is the worst possible score), and he was barely able to support his own body, the release states.
Almost two months later, Lucky has almost tripled his weight after being treated for his dehydration and injuries while also being placed on a feeding plan.
Once his health was stabilized, he was placed in a foster home, where he continued to gain weight and strength.
