    When the folks at No. Chesapeake Sheltie Rescue took in this poor, pathetic Sheltie last month and posted her picture I almost cried. She was bone thin, covered in fleas and had clearly had a litter of pups at some point. We dipped her, and hubby and I took her in to foster.

    We named her Lucy, or Lucy Lou, bathed her, brushed what little fur she had, fed her delicious food and Omega-3 supplements, and showered her with hugs and kisses.

    I'm happy to report that Lucy was adopted on August 18 and is now living with a wonderful couple in PA. She's continuing to gain some much needed weight, her fur is coming back in nicely and she loves belly rubs and hugs.

    Here's a photo I took of her sporting her red, white and blue collar before she departed for her forever home.

    Oh so glad to hear the happy ending! Long healthy life to Lucy and her new family. She's a cutie pie.

    What a beautiful girl!

    Thank you for all you did for her. I am sure she appreciates it.

    Another happily ever after "fur-ever" ending!

    ps Will her new family keep you updated on how she is doing?
