In early January the Blackstone MA animal rescue officer received a call about a dog someone needed to drop off. "Sorry, but you're outside our jurisdiction," was the reply. Because the caller lived in Woonsocket, they were told they needed to go to Woonsocket's facility. But because the Woonsocket animal control building is under construction, they would have to drop the dog at the Woonsocket Police Department. The people were too scared to do that so they drove to Blackstone, just a mile away, and let the dog loose.
Soon after, the Blackstone animal rescue officers, Kevin and Susan, started receiving calls from residents about a loose dog, and they went out and picked her up. I saw her picture and immediately filled out an application for adoption. After waiting the allotted days without being claimed, she was brought to Tufts for spaying and vaccines and a microchip. I went to meet her when she was allowed to be adopted and then Bill met her and then Romeo dog met her. We adopted her February 1st, and decided to name her Lulu.
She and Romeo are becoming good friends. We took Lulu for her lyme and lepto shots part one of two and fecal test this week. She is being treated for the Giardia parasite common at kennels.
We love her!
