Lucky had little reason to enjoy his life. All of the owners and families who he had been with neglected him; none were interested in showing him the love he deserved.

Born at a puppy factory, Lucky never found someone who wanted him to adopt him. In the end, he was given away free of charge.

The reason? Lucky had a malformed face and didn’t look like other dogs.

Lucky spent his life being passed around from place to place – never living in one house or having the chance to prove himself. Often, he was passed to the next owner for free; no one wanted to keep him for long.

Over the years, Lucky has had plenty of owners, but not one of them really attended his needs properly. Most recently, he lived with a family in Austin, Texas, but he was sadly neglected and left to fend for himself.

Since the family’s cats didn’t like Lucky being there, he had to stay outside 24 hours a day.

He was left in the yard, tied to a tree, without proper food or a comfortable place to sleep. The idea of being fussed, or getting the care and love a dog might usually benefit from in a home, was out of the question.

When the family decided to move, the call was made to get rid of Lucky without a second thought.

They contacted a dog shelter in the area. Volunteers from the shelter began looking for a new place for him to stay, while Lucky was left with his ‘family’ until they moved house.

The animal shelter finally found a new family who were willing to foster Lucky. Sadly, it didn’t take long for them to change their minds; one look at Lucky’s face saw them back out of the move.

Fortunately, a post on social media changed everything.

One of the shelter’s volunteers took Lucky to get groomed, before posting a few images of him across social media.

A post eventually came to the attention of Jamie Hult, who asked to meet the dog straight away.

“It just happened to be somebody in my dog rescue world, so right away I contacted him and said ‘I want that dog. I don’t even want to foster it, I wanna take that dog,” Jamie told iHeartdogs.

Saving Lucky

Unfortunately, Lucky wasn’t in good condition. After several years of mistreatment and neglect he suffered from malnutrition, amongst other things.

He was riddled with fleas and worms, and had never been microchipped.
