Looking for a loving family

Irony is a funny thing. Animal Humane Society recently took in a dog named Lucky who fell into a bit of bad luck. At 14 years old, this miniature poodle found himself without a home after 14 years in his previous home. His owners were moving and he was not allowed to join them.

But that brief moment of bad luck is over for Lucky and he is ready to live up to his name again. He’s looking toward the future and being settled in with a new family in the coming days, preferably with kids and maybe a cat or two.

At his old age, Lucky will probably transition well into his new home. He won’t need much training, if any, just direction to get acclimated to his new home. Plus, poodles shed very little so there’s no cause for concern with regard to allergies.

That little known fact about poodles is something your child could learn at Animal Humane Society’s summer camp. Unleashed is an animal-themed summer day camp held at all five of Animal Humane Society’s facilities. Unleashed campers entering grades 3-12 spend a full week immersed in animal learning and fun. Each week includes animal-related educational activities, animal interactions, visits from special guests, field trips, and more. Campers also unleash their big hearts by completing service projects to benefit the animals of the Animal Humane Society.

Registration is currently open, with many seats still available at AHS’s Buffalo and Woodbury facilities. Register today to unleash the compassionate animal advocate in your child.
