The Tookany Valley Chronicles:
Pet Adoption Edition
Lucci

December 4, 2018

"Lucci is seeking a new home," according to Ms. Katie Nagy, Humane Educator at the Montgomery County SPCA.

According to Ms. Nagy, Lucci is described in his SPCA file as a "male Staffordshire Terrier Mix who was surrendered to the shelter by his owner in late October.  The owner claimed he was hit by a car and injured his leg.  It is more likely that the lameness in his leg is actually a birth defect or an older, untreated injury.  Due to the severity of the issue his leg had to be removed. "

"He is still a puppy and he has adjusted very well to the missing limb.  In fact, Lucci is just as energetic with his three legs as any four-footed pet out there," his SPCA file continued.

"Lucci now is looking to find a loving permanent home," stated Ms. Nagy.  "Please contact the Montgomery County SPCA Abington location for more details and to request an application to adopt Sultan."

According to a statement from the Montgomery County SPCA, in order to adopt an animal you must:

• Have valid photo identification.

• Be at least 18 years of age.

• Be the owner/renter of a property or have the owner’s/renter’s permission (this includes adults living with their parents).

• Provide proof that pets are permitted under a rental/lease agreement (if applicable).

Adoption hours at the Abington Shelter of the Montgomery County SPCA are Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 Noon to 3:00 PM.

The adoption fee for Lucci is $65.00 plus tax.

The Abington Shelter of the Montgomery County SPCA is located at:
