Lucy Abigail Jones

8/9/26 FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS ~ This one hurts deeply.

When Lucy Abigail Jones came into our rescue family in March, she was so weak she had to be carried from the shelter wrapped in a towel. Her tired body told the story of a life spent being used, neglected and forgotten.

But we made her a promise. From here on out, it’s time for healing, kindness and finally being loved the way Lucy Abigail Jones always deserved.

And that is exactly what she found.

Her incredible foster momma, Sheliah, wrapped Lucy Abigail Jones in love and gave her something she had likely never known… a life that was truly hers.

And with the help of our amazing supporters, Lucy Abigail Jones got to experience her bucket list. She got adventures, treats, joy, attention and, most importantly, she got to know what it felt like to be cherished. ❤️

Lucy Abigail may not have had the long life we wished for her, but she had something far more precious at the end: She knew she was loved.

Today, we wrap our arms around Sheliah and everyone who loved this beautiful girl. And we thank every person who helped make Lucy Abigail Jones’s final chapter so incredibly special.

Run free, sweet Lucy Abigail Jones. Your body is whole and your eyes are bright again. You will never be forgotten.

3/6/26 INTRODUCTION ~ Please welcome Lucy Abigail Jones to our rescue family.

This one may break your heart.

At the shelter, Lucy Abigail Jones had to be carried out wrapped in a towel because Lucy Abigail Jones was simply too weak to walk on her own. Standing is difficult for Lucy Abigail Jones, and taking even a few steps is even harder.

It’s clear Lucy Abigail Jones’ body has been through far too much. Picked up as a stray and likely bred over and over again, the toll is written all over Lucy Abigail Jones. Loose skin hangs from Lucy Abigail Jones’ tired frame, and the light in Lucy Abigail Jones’ eyes has dimmed. Somewhere along the way, Lucy Abigail Jones gave everything she had while someone else likely tried to profit from her, litter after litter.

The exact age of Lucy Abigail Jones is unknown, but what we do know is this:

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, Lucy Abigail Jones.

No more surviving. From here on out, it’s time for healing, kindness and finally being loved the way Lucy Abigail Jones always deserved. 🐾

3/7/26 UPDATE ~ Please keep our newest foster girl, Lucy Abigail Jones, in your thoughts.

Lucy Abigail Jones was just rescued from a local shelter and is already showing us how much she wants to be loved, but she’s not feeling well at all. She’s currently refusing food and water and seems very sick. Our volunteer Dianne is at the vet with her now, waiting to see what’s going on and how we can help her start feeling better.

We’re hoping it’s something that can be treated quickly so she can begin the next chapter of her life safe, comfortable and surrounded by love. 💕

Thank you to everyone who supports these babies and helps us give them a second chance. We’ll update as soon as we know more. Please send Lucy Abigail Jones all the good thoughts and healing prayers.

3/7/26 UPDATE ~ Oy. We need to catch a break. 💔

We just fought so hard for Noah Ty. We poured our hearts into saving him, hoping for a miracle… and now here we are again, sitting in a vet’s office with another life that needs us just as much.

Lucy Abigail Jones was just rescued from a local shelter, and we knew right away she wasn’t feeling well. She went to the vet today, and the report was more than disappointing.

Lucy is in congestive heart failure, and her heart is so enlarged that it’s taking up most of the space in her chest. The vet also found a large spot on one lung that could be cancer or a severe infection. She has severe spondylosis in her spine. Even though she has refused food and water, her stomach is full of something. Her white blood cell count is extremely high, showing that her body is fighting a serious infection somewhere.

Right now, Lucy is hospitalized, receiving IV fluids and antibiotics while the veterinary team tries to stabilize her.

The vet had a very honest conversation with us about Lucy’s grim future and her quality of life moving forward. They explained she will likely need a hospice foster…. someone willing to give her comfort, love and peace for whatever time she has left.

But when the vet gently brought up quality of life today, volunteer Dianne told her something from her heart…

She’s not there yet.

Lucy just got out of the shelter.
She just got someone to fight for her.
She just became Lucy Abigail Jones.

Give us just a minute, please. We won’t prolong any suffering, but we need to make sure she knows what real love feels like first.

Today she is warm. She is safe. She is being cared for.

And no matter what the outcome is, she will not face it alone.

After everything with Noah Ty, our hearts are tired… but we will still stand beside Lucy and give her every ounce of love and dignity she deserves.

Please keep Lucy Abigail Jones in your thoughts. She needs every bit of strength, hope and kindness we can send her way.

3/23/26 UPDATE ~ Foster girl Lucy Abigail Jones has officially started her Bucket List Tour!

As many of you know, Lucy Abigail Jones is living with congestive heart failure and a mass on her lung. We don’t know how much time she has (days, months or maybe even longer), but one thing is certain: we are going to make every single moment count.

This girl is DONE with her old life and officially stepping into her “main character era.”

First stops on Lucy Abigail Jones’s Bucket List:

A fancy steak dinner at The Capital Grille (her choice of cut, plus a baked potato and dessert because… of course!)

A visit to the Grand Prairie Fire Department, where she’ll be an honorary firefighter (and yes, she already looks the part of a hero)

But we’re just getting started…

We’d love your help making Lucy Abigail Jones’s bucket list dreams come true! If you have a fun, pup-friendly idea (patio brunch, scenic stroll, special outing), let us know. For Lucy Abigail Jones’s safety and comfort, all outings will be coordinated through and handled by our approved foster families only.

Her amazing foster momma, Sheliah, is helping plan all of Lucy Abigail Jones’s adventures, and we even have a stroller ready so she can roll up in style wherever she goes.

Let’s show Lucy Abigail Jones what life can truly be: full of love, kindness, treats and joyful experiences. She’s spent far too long giving… now it’s her turn to receive it all.

Let’s make sure Lucy Abigail Jones’s story is one for the books.

Update from the foster momma: Miss Lucy Abigail Jones is officially on her next big adventure and her Bucket List Tour is underway!

She said her goodbyes at the vet clinic, soaking up hugs and kisses from everyone. Then, she hopped into the van and headed off to the start of her new, joy-filled chapter.

So far, Lucy Abigail Jones has been busy settling in to her foster home like a pro! She’s met her new step brothers and sisters, taken her meds like a champ and enjoyed a good dinner (and yes, she made sure her dish was thoroughly cleaned).

Next on the agenda: a little stroll around the yard to check out her new kingdom.

She’s already loving her cozy crate and comfy bed and now she’s ready to wind down for a well-deserved evening of rest. Big day = sleepy girl.

And this is just the beginning—Lucy Abigail Jones’s Bucket List is officially in motion! Her social calendar is already filling up with exciting outings, including a dinner reservation at The Capital Grille and a visit to The London Baker.

One thing is clear: Lucy Abigail Jones is a busy lady with places to go, people to charm and a whole lot of life to live.

4/21/26 UPDATE ~ Here’s an update on Lucy Abigail Jones’s bucket list adventures from volunteer Beata: My husband, Paul, and I were so lucky to spend an afternoon with Lucy Abigail Jones and truly, she is one of the sweetest Bulldogs we’ve ever met. Words really don’t do her justice. ❤️

We started her special day with a pup cup from Braum’s, which she absolutely loved. With her heart condition in mind, we wanted to be careful not to overdo it, even though we brought a cart just in case so we opted for a more relaxed adventure.

Next stop: Home Depot, where Lucy got to enjoy the cool air while taking in all the sights, sounds and especially the smells of the garden center 🌺

Everywhere she went, people were drawn to her gentle spirit. She soaked up all the love and even made a new friend, a sweet beagle named Kimber. After admiring the flowers, Lucy enjoyed a cozy ride in her cart back to the car.

By the time we headed back, she was ready for a well-deserved nap. We dropped her off at her foster home with a new toy as a little parting gift.

A huge thank you to Sheliah for giving Lucy such wonderful care. She is truly in the best hands. And thank you to Dianne and all the volunteers and foster parents who continue to give these incredible dogs the love and second chances they deserve.

5/23/26 UPDATE ~ From volunteer Tina: Fospice girl Lucy Abigail Jones is currently working her way through what may be the most emotionally expensive bulldog bucket list in North Texas. ❤️

This week, Lucy Abigail Jones rolled into The Capital Grille (Plano) like a tiny retired mob wife arriving for her standing reservation. And thanks to Chef Kyo, Rudy, Natalie and the incredible staff, she was treated exactly as she believes she deserves. 🥩✨

There was a custom feast. Fancy bottled water. Whipped cream chaos. Rose petals. And before she left, they sent her home with a bag full of toys because apparently this Bulldog now expects gift bags with dinner service.

Her little heart may be failing, but we’re determined to fill it with as much joy, love, snacks and ridiculous adventure as possible while we can.

If you’ve ever had a great experience at The Capital Grille in Plano, go leave them a glowing review and show some love to people who understand that true hospitality absolutely includes rescue Bulldogs in strollers.

And if any of our local supporters happen to have connections for adding to Lucy Abigail Jones’s bucket list… we’re listening. A Zamboni ride? Cowboys locker room tour? Full bougie spa day and dog massage? Tiny VIP experiences for a tiny VIP potato? Let’s hear it. ♥

6/14/26 UPDATE ~ Foster girl Lucy Abigail Jones here with a little life update!

I’m happy to report that I am doing GREAT and loving every minute of my life. I’ve got plenty of yummy food, lots of love and so many opportunities to play with my family and furry friends.

Did I mention food? Because that’s definitely one of my favorite things. Well, that and naps. I take my napping duties very seriously! 😴❤️

My foster mom says I’m even making great progress with my potty training, which makes everyone very proud of me. I’m learning more every day and settling in beautifully.

Life is pretty wonderful right now, and I hope all of my friends out there are as happy as I am. Thank you for following my journey and cheering me on!

Sending lots of slobbery kisses and Bulldog love to everyone!
