One fortuitous day, a team member stumbled upon a small, hairless pup—an abandoned soul seeking refuge in a dog house on a property. Despite their seasoned expertise, the rescuers were taken aback by the pitiful state in which they found her.
The little one was grappling with a severe case of mange, rendering her bald and in distress. Adding to her challenges, an eye infection exacerbated her plight.
Desi, a compassionate rescue worker, disclosed that the poor girl had spent her entire life confined in a cage, serving as a breeding dog. Her heartless captors abandoned her on the street once she was no longer deemed "cute and healthy." Desi, however, managed to coax her out of hiding, showering her with the love and attention she had been deprived of.
“We were both madly in love with her,” Brianna explained. “She was just so adorable, and we felt like she simply bonded to our hearts right away and pretended to be ours.”
Given the name Lucy Ray, the dog's true personality blossomed as her physical ailments were addressed. Rescuers marveled at her newfound sweetness and constant desire to cuddle.
Over the next seven weeks, Lucy Ray underwent a remarkable transformation. She not only regained her health and weight but also became acquainted with other dogs, learned to walk on grass, and reveled in the warmth of a loving home.
The concerted efforts paid off as Bali Paws swiftly found her an ideal forever home in Centreville, Virginia, spanning across the world. The moment Matt and Brianna laid eyes on Lucy Ray's pictures and heard her story, they knew she had to be a part of their lives.
“She definitely shows us how much she loves and appreciates us, and we reciprocate because we love her more than anything,” Matt said.
Now residing in Centreville, Lucy Ray has transitioned from Bali streets to silky sheets, basking in the spoils of a loving family. The couple remains in awe of their pet's ability to forgive and move beyond her traumatic beginnings.
