From Leashes End: “On Friday, 01 September 2023 we bid farewell to our precious 20-year-old Shih Tzu Lucille. Lucille joined the Leashes End family in May 2023 from the Prince Georges County Animal Shelter. Her owner had passed away and Lucille ended up in the shelter.

She came to us in rough shape, fighting a bronchial infection and a horrible mouth; she kicked with the former with antibiotics and the latter with an extensive dental. The only thing we couldn’t fix was her kidney disease … and as is so often the case, she refused to eat the kidney diet.

Otherwise, she became unstoppable despite her mature cataracts and heart murmur. Fiercely independent, she would take herself on long walks about the property and put herself to bed when she’s sleepy! She would also check in on whatever is going on in the house, give the people a once-over, and then go back to her business.

Over the course of her final week, her kidney disease became acute. After several days of lethargy and refusing to eat, we realized it was time to let her go. Poor, sweet girl. She was surrounded by love through the very end.

Run free, Lucile. May your memory be a blessing.”

HWAH provided a $ 1,000.00 grant towards her medical and vet bills.

Thanks to YOUR generosity, our HWAH K-9 & Kitty Medical Miracles Fund was able to help Lucille get the medical care she desperately needed
