Community members across St. Pete are calling for "Justice for Lacey." Two weeks ago, the lab-pit mix was found in the Oakwood Gardens neighborhood of St. Petersburg with wounds that indicate she was a victim of dog fighting. Today, Lacey is still recovering with the help of the non-profit No Dog Forgotten. "She surprisingly learned to trust very quickly," Vicki Izquierdo, founder of No Dog Forgotten, said. "She's super happy, super bubbly, a happy-go-lucky little girl." When she was first found, Izquierdo said veterinarians were unsure whether she would survive the night. "She had bite marks, both old and new. She had massive wounds behind her neck and by her ears," Izquierdo explained. She also said maggots had contaminated the wounds. Izquierdo said her non-profit, which relies on community donations, has spent upwards of $6,000 on her recovery. Based on her injuries, Izquierdo suspects Lacey was used as a "bait dog" for dog fighting. "Because of her sweet personality, she's the typical type of dog that will be used, for lack of better words, as 'bait' to teach other dogs how to dog fight," she added.
