    I hope they help this little guy! He is 15 years old and obviously has health problems. Weak hind legs and coughing at intake exam. I hope a rescue for senior dogs can save LUCKY MAN because he is not so lucky right now. Advocate for little LUCKY MAN he needs a safe place ASAP!

    I just went on ACC website. I searched for dogs all locations. Only 55? This is including some that are on the kill list. Something is not right.

    And one dog is on the kill list today, at risk for depression? Youve got to be kidding me.
    There is no excuse to kill them, but being depressed? Look where he is!! My god I just cant believe anything anymore.

    How sad..Owner was tending to Lucky Mans special needs, and now owner being in the hospital there is no one to continue to take care of elderly Lucky Man..Heartbreaking..Owner must be sick with worry..I feel so bad for owner and Lucky Man..It will take someone very special to continue with Lucky Man’s care..Poor baby..

    For once I feel bad for the OWNER.
    I wish a family member or friend could’ve kept this poor little guy.
    BUT we don’t know circumstances.

    They should not let this little guy sit in there on death row if his owner may be coming home from the hospital to claim his dog! Why doesn’t’t ACC ever deviate from the killing process to consider a special circumstance? Who put LUCKY MAN in there the owner or a family member? ACC has no time for anything else besides killing the dogs.
