Lucky comes by his name honestly. He was found by a trapper in a remote area caught in an illegal snare. It’s not clear how Lucky got to this spot, but it was exceptionally fortunate for the dog that anyone had come by as he would not have lasted long in the cold with potential predators lurking nearby.

The man who found Lucky called our Central Dispatch and a pair Peace Officers quickly made the two-hour drive to the location. The man who had called us stuck around to show us where the snare was, a location well off the roadway. Once there, our Peace Officers sifted around their vehicle to find something to cut the snare wire so they could get Lucky to a vet, snare and all.

Fortunately, Lucky had very few injuries from his time in the snare, and the vet removed it from Lucky’s body. Lucky stayed at the clinic for 10 days (required hold period) before our Peace Officer transported him to the Peace Regional SPCA for re-homing. Lucky was quickly placed with a family of three for the holidays with the hope that this would become Lucky’s permanent home.

Lucky’s second chance was made possible thanks to the generosity of supporters like you!
