Lucky never had much luck. Born with a facial deformity in a puppy mill, he was overlooked, unwanted, and passed from one careless owner to another. No one saw his worth—only his difference. Instead of love, he faced neglect at every turn.
His last home in Austin, Texas, was no better. Forced to live outside, tied to a tree, ignored by the family’s cats and by the humans themselves, Lucky knew nothing of warmth or care. When the family decided to move, they gave him up without a second thought.
A local shelter stepped in, but even a foster family backed out once they saw his face. It seemed Lucky’s fate was sealed—until one social media post changed everything.
Jamie Hult, a dog lover with a big heart, saw his picture and instantly knew: “I don’t want to foster—I want to adopt him.” When she met him, he was frail, starved, and covered in fleas and scars. But Jamie didn’t flinch. She took him home and promised to give him the life he deserved, no matter the cost.
And it wasn’t easy. Lucky—now named Beaux Tox—needed expensive treatments, including an MRI and even a week in an oxygen tank. Jamie spent $8,000 to save him. But today, Beaux is healthy, playful, and full of joy. He wears funny little ties to brighten his appearance, and his happy heart shines through.
Beaux now helps care for foster kittens, other rescue animals, and brings love to everyone he meets. His story is a beautiful reminder: it’s not looks that matter—it’s the heart. And with kindness, even the most broken souls can find happiness.
