Brevard Project 365 – Day 185

… meet Lulu… she’s the sweetest little thing I’ve met in a long time, and is looking for a forever home.  She was hit by a car in March and abandoned by her owner, but the good folks at Brevard Animal Hospital saved her life (fixed her broken leg, etc.) and have been loving on her and taking care of her as best they can… but what Lulu really needs and wants right now is a family. She’s a people dog for sure… so sweet!  Call the Brevard Animal Hospital for more info (tell them you’re calling about the hound dog… Lulu or Hannah… different people are calling her different names… but, I like Lulu).  :-)
