When given the opportunity, every domestic dog will search for a location to eat and sleep anytime they have the chance to do so. Many individuals go through garbage or areas that have been abandoned for a variety of reasons. Unfortuitously, a sizeable percentage of dogs are killed when they are hit by vehicles.But the journey that Lacy is about to take is going to be the most uplifting excursion that I have ever witnessed.
It is possible for some people to be so perceptive that they seek aid from other people. Since the beginning of my existence, I have never failed to preserve animals, the majority of which were left behind. In my life, Lacy, a particularly large poodle, would serve as an illustration of such a rescue.
Lacy’s adventure started on the streets of Stockton, California, where she was born and raised. Her hair, which was matted, was a reflection of the months of neglect that she had endured. severe mats that had grown six inches in length were pulling on her flesh, causing her to experience severe pain.
The hair of a poodle does not shed and continues to grow, much like the hair of a human being does without stopping. The existence of misery and anguish is brought about as a result of this sort of neglect. In addition to being emaciated, Lacy had ribs that were broken and had not recovered back to their normal state. It was a horrific event for her, and she had managed to survive the difficult streets despite those circumstances.
After some time, she was taken into custody by animal control, which opened up a new chance for her.The path that Lacy had been on had been challenging, but now there was hope.
A New Beginning
To say that we fell in love with Lacy at first sight would be an understatement. We found her on a website that specialized in adoption. Even though she was in a critical state, we were able to acknowledge her skill. She had been traveling for a considerable amount of time before she finally arrived at our place. We were focused on aiding her in her rehabilitation, despite the fact that we were frightened and fragile.
The early period of time was difficult to make it through. For Lacy, being in the company of other people was an exceedingly challenging experience. As a consequence of her past, she has grown weary of placing her confidence in other people. She had a difficult time dealing with the process of grooming herself. It was necessary for her to get her hair completely shaved off. Both physically and psychologically, the event was terrible through its whole. Lacy’s road toward healing, on the other hand, began with love that was love without conditions and patience.
After a period of time had passed, she progressed from being apprehensive to becoming more at comfortable with her new existence through the process of change. During the course of Lacy’s trip, which was gradual but steady, trust started to develop between the two of them.
Lacy’s Role on the Ranch
The course of action that Lacy pursued was not just comprised of focusing on her physical rehabilitation. She found out what she wanted to do with her life while she was working at our mountain horse ranch. During the time that she was employed as “Poodle Security,” Lacy was responsible for patrolling our vast area.
It is her responsibility to keep a watchful look out for any trespassers, whether they are visitors or wild animals. The deer and turkeys that are under her watchful eye have little chance of surviving, and they have no chance of surviving at all. Lacy’s trip has not only helped her become a skilled hunter, but it has also helped her participate in the control of vermin.
Each and every move that she takes is evidence of the strength and resilience that she possesses. As Lacy has progressed through her journey, she has even been able to escape getting bitten by two rattlesnakes. Both were serious, yet neither of them posed a threat to the individual’s life. Her lack of fear in the face of peril is something that we hold in the highest regard with great admiration.
In addition, Lacy’s voyage illustrates her desire to protect the interests of other people. There was a day when we went out to lunch, and Lacy was left in the yard while we were gone during that time. Upon the arrival of Lacy’s new roommate at her residence, she was unable to recognize him. She would not permit him to enter, that is for sure. She gave out a deep growl when she was securely positioned at the fence on the other side. In order for us to enter, the roommate had to give us a call prior to our arrival.
Lacy’s Journey of Trust
The journey that Lacy has taken to achieve total trust has been a long and winding one, but it has been well worth it. In the present moment, she does not appear to be crouching as if she is expecting to be injured. She is able to look us in the eyes and keep her gaze fixed on us without showing any sign of having any fear.
In spite of the fact that she continues to refer to being bathed and having her nails clipped as “torture,” she is able to tolerate them with tolerance. Lacy has gone through a transformation that is well worth the effort that she has put in due to the fact that she has gone from a position of fear to one of trust.
It has also been reported that Lacy, the queen of our ranch, has been escorted by other individuals. She considers Mary, who she refers to as her “little brother,” to be her closest buddy. In order to maintain order at the location, they all collaborate. The bond that they share has been a source of encouragement and companionship for Lacy, which has helped her on her path forward.
Another Rescue on the Horizon
Despite the fact that Lacy and mary are content and in good condition, we are still looking for further rescues. The adventure of Lacy continues, but we are aware that another dog may require a home in the near future. My husband’s allergies restrict us to poodles or breeds that are similar to poodles. However, the trip that Lacy has taken has shown us that the appropriate dog will come into our lives at the correct moment.
There is no doubt in our minds that when the time comes, another rescue will come along with us. Until then, we will cherish each and every minute we spend with Lacy. We are looking forward to continuing Lacy’s trip with her because it has been a fantastic experience thus far.
