Lucky's Been Adopted!

Four-year-old Lucky, which is now considered to be a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, was adopted by a man and a woman from the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter on Tuesday.

The pooch belonged to a caregiver of Peggy Burgess. The employee accepted another job and could not take Lucky with her and Burgess couldn't care for it either.

Former Patch reporter Julie Walmsley was at the shelter checking out Lucky for a few friends that might have been interested in adopting him.

That's when she bumped into a man and a woman, which she wasn't were married. The pair fell for Lucky almost immediately.

Also important is the fact they own another dog to love alongside Lucky, who has some anxiety issues about being left alone.

"They seem nice," Walmsley said. "They have a dog to keep him company."
