Lucy the Recovering Pittie Mix - ADOPTED

3/25/13 UPDATE: ADOPTED! I just wanted to thank you again for helping Lucy. I also wanted to let you know that Lucy has been officially adopted. She now has a mommy, daddy and doggie brother! We are so happy for her. It was truly meant to be. 

3/4/13 UPDATE from her rescuer: She is doing really well and she seems great with kids too. She is not in a foster to adopt yet but we are accepting applications. She has to be spayed first prior to her going into a home. She can't go under anesthesia until her lung x-ray is clear which should be in 2 weeks. She is an amazing dog!

3/1/13 UPDATE: Lucy has received so many offers for a foster home - what a lucky girl! Looking for a FOSTER-TO-ADOPT home.

2/27/13 Bio: Urgent foster needed for young Pit/Weimaraner mix Lucy. 1 yr old, medium size. Fine with other animals.
   
From her rescuers:

Yesterday, we rescued this young pittie from Far Rockaway. She ran into a building that was under construction due to Hurricane Sandy and was throwing up blood.
We rushed her to vet where she is still located. I just spoke to the vet and they think that she has a bad case of bronchial pneumonia that was left untreated and her coughing caused a pulminary hemmorage causing her to cough up blood. 

The vet is keeping her overnight to confirm this and rule out heartworm and anything else. She kept her breakfast down today and has also kept the water she drank down. We are hopeful Lucy will be ok and ready to leave soon.
She is one of the gentlest and sweetest dogs I have ever met. The vet's office staff and doctors concur and can't say enough about her. She has had no reaction to cats or dogs. Just wants love. Attached are some pics of Lucy.

Located in Far Rockaway, NY. Care of BSL Rescue.
