Lucky can no longer use his hind legs due to a spinal cord injury, for which he underwent surgery and rehabilitation. After Philly Rescue Angels put Lucky up for adoption, many people applied to adopt the dog, who now walks with a wheelchair.
In the end, Lucky ended up being adopted by one of the women involved in his rescue. In an Instagram post, Philly Rescue Angels said Lucky was abandoned for a reason but they are glad he is now where he belongs. In addition, the non-profit organization said they planned to help pay for the canine’s monthly medical care and prescriptions for as long as he lives.
Recently, Philly Rescue Angels shared a video that shows Lucky happily playing with another dog. In the caption of the video, the Rescue thanked everyone who has donated to Lucky and supported his journey.
