Lacey well and truly deserves her forever home for Christmas as she really has been through the wars this year 🙁

Sadly Lacey was hit by a car a few months ago, her owners then took her to the vet to be put to sleep however the vets couldn't bare to say goodbye to her without giving her a chance so thankfully her owners signed her over to the vet. The vets then cared for her and sought out another practice willing and able to operate on her, we were then contacted to see if we could help take her on post op and lucky for Lacey one of our treasured foster homes just became available.

Dates were set for her x-ray and op, her jaw had suffered significant with suspected fractures and fractured teeth so she still wasn't out of the woods yet depending on how bad the trauma was there was still a potential they would have to let her go on the table if it couldn't be fixed. We were over the moon to hear that she had got through the op, the vet operating on her was pretty nifty with orthopaedics so they plated and wired her jaw along with making multiple teeth extractions - bless her!

She then arrived with us where she went straight into foster, she has had to have a couple of back and forth trips to the vets for check ups and another operation to remove the wire but the vets are very happy with her so she's been cleared to start looking for a new home!!

Lacey is such a lovely girl who despite all of the trauma is so loving, typical Staffy in that everything has to be about her but she is such a character!

She has been on lots of days out with her fosterer's, she travels well in the car (she normally can't wait for the door to be open before she is in!) and has been doing much better since her cone of shame as been removed (she wasn't happy wearing it so told everyone about it barking whether they wanted to hear it or not!). " Lacey wants to make friends with everyone, rarely barks, she let 2 very little girls stroke her while we were walking earlier. She's had an exciting day today, and been good as gold.  Explored kitchen showrooms in Bromyard, went in cafe for morning coffee, shopping in Tenbury then lunch in a pub. "

Lacey will benefit from some further training on the lead as she can be a bit of a tank and tow you along but nobody's perfect so we don't hold it against her. She does love her walks and being out and about so she will need an active home.

We do think her preference would be being the only dog in the home, simply because she loves the limelight and all the attention she can get, after all she does deserve to be spoilt, someone's little princess and the center of their world!
