Lucas Neglected by Former Owners
Lucas was horribly neglected by his former owners and when he became ill, rather than provide the medical treatment he desperately needed, they abandoned him and he wound up on the e-list. The first photo shows Lucas in agonizing pain, utterly dejected, on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized.
Fortunately, an ABC volunteer heard of Lucas’s predicament and immediately transferred him to University Animal Hospital to see if doctors could save his life. Lucas was quickly diagnosed with Lupus and began immediate treatment. After just five weeks, Lucas has almost fully recovered and is all smiles!

ABC rescues animals regardless of their medical condition. Many times an animal needs surgery or extended medical care before he or she is ready for adoption. Our Critical Care Corner will keep you updated on these special needs animals.
