Eyes that will break your heart. Meet Lucius, formerly Shuppo.
Lucius is a senior boy we pulled from Harris County, and the second we walked by his kennel he stopped us all. There was a sadness in his eyes you could truly feel. He cowered in the corner, yet still wagged his tail at us. He wanted love so badly even after everything he had been through.
We noticed a note on his kennel card that made us ask questions. What we learned broke our hearts. After his owner passed away, Lucius was reportedly beaten by officers responding to the home. Why this happened, we will never understand, but what we do know is that Lucius never deserved any of it.
His body tells a hard story. He is skinny, missing fur, and has a large scar around his neck from a heavy chain. But despite it all, Lucius is still trying to trust people again. He looks at you with the sweetest eyes and softly wags his tail, hoping someone will show him kindness.
Lucius is going to need a patient foster willing to move slow and let him learn what love and safety feel like again. He does well with other dogs and would absolutely benefit from a calm, loving home with another pup.
If you’re interested in fostering this handsome boy, please let us know. We would love to give Lucius the second chance he has always deserved.
