Las Vegas, NV – A senior dog named Lucy spent her days staring out the window of a Las Vegas animal shelter…waiting for someone to choose her to be their companion. Things looked bleak for the lonesome dog until the Animal Foundation issued a plea on her behalf on social media.
On December 29, the animal welfare agency Tweeted about Lucy’s plight.
And that social media nudge was just what was needed to get Lucy the attention she needed to find a home. Not long after Lucy’s situation hit Twitter and Facebook, the rescue group let everyone know that she had been adopted.
While social media may be considered to be the bane of existence for many, it remains an invaluable asset to homeless pets waiting for their chance to be loved.

So pleased that sweet Lucy’s patience paid off. I hope that the rest of her life is filled with love and cuddles….bless her little heart, and thank you to the person who chose to take her home. No more waiting Lucy, unless it’s for a treat, obviously! ❤🇬🇧
Thank you to the WONDERFUL Shelter holding Lucy indefinitely – as it SHOULD be.
I am so happy to hear Lucy has found her much
deserved, forever home!❤️❤️
There is a lot I do not like about social media, and while I am not on any of the sites, i appreciate the good things that can be done. It certainly worked for Lucy. Old animals are wonderful. I adopted my old dog a year ago August and he will turn 16 at the end of the month.No dog should die in a shelter but old dogs do not understand why they are there if they have had homes for most of their lives. Really, no dog understands. I am very happy that Lucy has a new home and people to love her.
Prayfor dog need new home soon dont wait get dog now amen
Thanks to the Animal Foundation!! Great save and hopefully a wonderful new family who will understand this baby’s needs!! shared
I was so, so very happy to see that Lucy, the Pitbull at the shelter was adopted into a family after such a long wait. I rescued my pitbull at
2yrs old from a drug-addict…she is now 13yrs old & has been a true blessing in my life!!!🤩🐕
So very happy Lucy has been adopted and now has a loving family and home for her to call her own.❤️ Thank you to whomever adopted that beautiful girl 🙏
I LOVE IT — Thank you to the Shelter holding Lucy indefinitely – as it SHOULD be — THANK YOU to the loving Adopters —
