Meet Lucas!
March 28th, 2025
Luke’s journey began when he was rescued from a long-stay motel after being abandoned. Devoted dog mom Ashley adopted him from the pitbull rescue soon after, and he led a playful, joyous life with Ashley and her siblings. Ashley doted on Luke, even putting pajamas on him before tucking him into bed.
One day in their backyard, the sweet dog tried to play with what he thought was a rope toy swishing through the grass, but it was no toy – it was a snake. The encounter with the snake left Luke with serious wounds that began to necrotize. Ashley and her vet knew that Luke needed treatment – and fast – but the extensive treatments he required would be expensive. With her own medical expenses taking a toll on her finances, Ashley knew she would have to seek out support to help pay for Luke’s care.
Ashley reached out to RedRover and applied for a RedRover Relief Urgent Care grant. When the grant was approved, Luke underwent multiple surgeries and came through them like a champ. While his path to healing was not an easy one, Ashley shared: “Luke’s brave spirit and loving nature remains unchanged” even through his multiple surgical procedures.
Your support of RedRover means that beloved pets like Luke can stay where they belong – with the people who love them. Thank you!
