Oh no! This is soo sad, and SO frustrating...Fannie, you are 100% correct in blaming the "breeder"!
Please keep us updated!
Poor Lucy :-(

[Michael Gurley]

I'm going to find the people who bred her and you will all see me on the news. It will be gruesome.

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

I would like to help you Michael.

Frannie, I hope you know that we love and adore you and are here in any and every way that we can be. This is a very unfortunate accident and is not your fault sweetie...:  ). Anyone who has been active in rescue has had experiences such as this one. It happens....And it happens more often than we think or know...It's just generally not made public or discussed openly which is a disservice to the dogs, the rescue community and the volunteers who give so much of themselves to save these dogs. Every proper precaution was taken to ensure Lucy's safe transport and transition to foster care with one of the most experienced, passionate, dedicated and amazing foster mommies in rescue.......You Frannie.... I do not want you blaming yourself for this situation.

We are so grateful to have you as part of our family. Don't allow this accident to dissuade you from doing what you love to do and do so well.....:  ) We will find Lucy and we will get her back on track.

I know what you are going through Frannie and I so want to be there for you and for Lucy........I feel utterly powerless here in NJ...... Last night I was pricing flights to Atlanta as the waiting and my personal inability to pound the pavement from NJ leaves me feeling so impotent.......Don't be surprised if I show up on your doorstep...Love you mamma....:  )

We have updated Lucy's Flyer ...It is above.....Thank you all so much for supporting Lucy, DRC and Frannie.....

Jacquie, can you re-post on Craigslist also?  The Craigslist ad is only for Saturday...can it be run everyday until she is found?

[Linda, Webber and Seda]

Frannie, thank you for all you, your neighbors and DRC are doing to try to find Lucy.  After spending eight hours with her I know that if you make a move toward her, she will retreat.  She follows other dogs, and had begun to show active interest in my doodles.  It seems to me she would be most likely to go where there are other dogs.  She must be hiding under a deck somewhere.  The breeder may have dragged her around by her collar, and thus the fear of a lead, but she did not pull away when I touched her head, and allowed petting all over her body. She made some tentative approaches to my son.  I think she just knows nothing about the world at large.  I also think that guilt is a useless emotion, so please stop beating yourself up about this. Feeling guilty will only sap you of the energy you are going to need when you find her.  Please keep posting.  I had to go back to Chapel Hill and I hated to leave Atlanta not knowing where Lucy might be.

I want to thank the DRC and Frannie especially for all their work. Frannie, you are a go-to foster mom that I know the DRC always counts on in a pinch.  I sincerely hope you don't let this deter you from your work with DRC because anyone who has seen your blogs about fostering KNOWS that you are amazing.  You make a difference on a daily basis.

 

Keep us posted.

Frannie just posted on Facebook that Lucy has been found!!!!!!

 

 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

This is good news to wake up to....thank you!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ronna, Murphy & Wilson]

This makes me soooo happy.  I have been sick with worry about her.  Wish I could get on Facebook at work but I can't.  Hope she posts an update here or on DRC very soon.
