Dog rescued in Iraq now in foster care in North Providence
01:00 AM EST on Saturday, November 7, 2009
Lucy, the dog from Iraq that was up for adoption because her owner must return to Iraq, has been placed in foster care in North Providence temporarily, Linda Monahan of ADOPT, or Animals Depend on People Too, said Thursday night.
Monahan said a Cranston family adopted Lucy but returned her for snapping when anyone came near her while she was eating.
Lucy might also be pregnant. The woman in North Providence will foster Lucy until she has the puppies, Monahan said. After the puppies are weaned and if the food aggression can be corrected, Monahan said, Lucy will be adopted into a permanent home.
She’ll get a veterinary visit this weekend, Monahan said.
