Severely Abused Naugatuck Dog Has Surgery

NAUGATUCK, CT — Great news for Lucky, as the dog that came to Naugatuck Animal Control severely abused last week, had successful life-saving surgery on Wednesday.

Animal control staff said Lucky had her first surgery and "came through it like a champ." More than $3,000 has been raised to pay for the surgery, which will cost just under $5,000.

"Due to her popularity, we have been getting many phone calls for her adoption. Please do not call. We have set up a dedicated website specifically for her adoption and it will go live in the next week or two. So stay tuned," Naugatuck Animal Control said. "We can not thank everyone enough for your kindness."

Lucky was abused and needed surgery for tumors in her belly and a hole in the roof of her mouth.

"Any donations from our community to help with Lucky's surgery please contact Naugatuck Veterinary Hospital 203-723-7187. Any amount is appreciated, let's get little Lucky healthy for the holidays so she can find her furever home!" Naugatuck Animal Control says.
