We have an important update to share. Jan has been accepted into transitional housing, which is a huge step forward and gives her a real path toward stability and permanent housing. We’re incredibly grateful she has a safe place to stay.

However, there is an urgent challenge: this program does not allow pets, which means Jan cannot have her puppy, Lucy, with her right now. This separation is heartbreaking, and it’s also creating a serious safety concern.

**Jan fell twice last week**, and it’s become clear how much she needs Lucy’s support for **balance and stability**—especially as she continues working toward better health and a more secure life. Lucy isn’t “just a pet” to Jan; she’s a source of comfort, grounding, and physical support.

**What we urgently need right now**

1) A temporary foster home for Lucy

Jan is actively searching for someone who can foster Lucy until Jan is able to move into permanent housing and reunite with her.

2) Help covering Lucy’s care while she’s being fostered

While Lucy is in foster care, Jan needs help with:

- Food

- Basic supplies

- Vet care as needed

- Other daily care costs

Anything donated will help ensure Lucy is safe, healthy, and cared for during this transition.

3) Support for service dog training

Jan is also requesting help to get Lucy trained as her service dog, because the cost can be overwhelming. This includes professional training time and the expenses that come with preparing a dog to provide reliable assistance and stability support. Having Lucy properly trained would make a life-changing difference for Jan’s independence and safety.

Why this matters

Jan is doing everything she can to move forward—and this housing placement is a major step in the right direction. **But she shouldn’t have to choose between having a safe place to sleep and having the support she needs to stay steady and safe. Our goal is to keep Jan progressing while ensuring Lucy is cared for and ready to come home to her as soon as possible.

Thank you for standing with Jan and Lucy. Every donation and every share helps—especially right now. If you can help foster Lucy or support her care and training, it truly makes a direct impact.
