A FTA contract is required. Lulu may have a delicate name, but this little guy has already proven he is one tough Yorkie. At approximately 7 years old and just 7.4 pounds, Lulu came to Yorkie Rescue Houston after his family sought euthanasia because of a severe injury to his right eye. The veterinary record notes that the cost of the surgery he needed was more than his family could manage. Instead of Lulu’s story ending there, he got his second chance. Lulu’s injured eye could not be saved, so he underwent an enucleation to remove the right eye. While he was under anesthesia, he was also neutered and received desperately needed dental care. His dental disease was rated Stage 5/5, and 17 teeth were extracted during his procedure. His initial bloodwork also showed significant anemia along with changes consistent with inflammation. Lulu was started on an iron/vitamin supplement and antibiotics as part of his treatment and recovery. His chemistry panel—including kidney and liver values—was largely within the laboratory’s listed reference ranges. That sounds like a lot for one tiny dog—and it is. But Lulu is getting something now that every dog deserves: the chance to heal. Losing an eye does not mean losing a happy life. Dogs adapt remarkably well to having one eye, and Lulu’s missing eye is simply going to become one small part of his story—not the thing that defines him. What Lulu needs next is a family who understands that rescue is sometimes a process. He has been through pain, major surgery, and enormous change in a very short period of time. His perfect home will give him the patience, security, and affection he needs while he continues recovering and learning that he is finally safe. Lulu didn’t need his life to end. He needed someone willing to fight for it. Yorkie Rescue Houston did. Now we’re looking for the person who will make sure Lulu never needs rescuing again.
