Lucy (Dog)
Nikki Reed intervened at the last minute to save Lucy, a dog unjustly slated for euthanasia at a shelter. Originally owned by a grieving man who could no longer care for her, Lucy was nearly euthanized by the neighbor tasked with her care. Sensing something was amiss, Reed stepped in, took ownership from the distressed man, and saved Lucy’s life. Lucy, who narrowly escaped an undeserved fate, is now thriving with a foster family, and Reed is actively seeking a loving, permanent home for her. Interested parties should contact FurKids Atlanta.
