A distressing situation unfolded near Desert Hot Springs when a woman, alarmed by the sound of a dog in distress, dialed 911.
Responding to the call, a sheriff’s deputy discovered a young, injured puppy and quickly handed it over to the care of an animal rescue officer. On the way to the Coachella Valley Animal Shelter, the officer comforted the frightened pup.
Upon arrival, the shelter staff carefully assessed the puppy’s condition. They were relieved to find that the foreign object causing the injury had missed vital organs and arteries.
There was a collective hope that the puppy, whose spirit shone despite the ordeal, would pull through.
Following the initial assessment, the brave puppy was prepped for surgery. The procedure to remove the object was swift and successful, allowing the puppy some much-needed rest as she was transferred to a recovery enclosure.
The shelter staff expressed their shock and disbelief at the incident, appealing for any information about who might have harmed the puppy.
Once Lucky is fully healed, the shelter plans to place her in a loving, permanent home, ensuring she receives the care and affection she truly deserves.
With her sunny disposition, Lucky is poised to become a cherished companion and a testament to resilience.
