Lucky Lulu, the appropriat­ely named Chihuahua who survived being thrown out of the window of a moving car, is healthy and up for adoption.

The pup was brought in by the witnesses who saw her thrown out of a car window in Allegan County. Lucky Lulu was one of six Chihuahuas thrown out the window and the only one to survive.

The dog lived with the witnesses for a while before she was brought into Pet Klips. Lucky Lulu, who is between 1-3 years old, is in good condition and is looking for a home without any kids or other dogs.

Once the Sheriff’s Office posted the story of Lucky Lulu to their Facebook page, adoption inquiries for her began rolling in. There are about 15 applicatio­ns for adoption.

The dogs are thought to have been thrown out the window near the 400 block of 124th Avenue Jan. 29 in Wayland Township. The vehicle is described as a 2004-2006 silver Honda Odyssey van going westbound on 124th Avenue while throwing the dogs out the window, according to Allegan County Sheriff ’s Office.

The passenger is described as a slim white female between 20 and 30 with long blonde hair and missing teeth. The driver is thought to be a white male, slim with missing teeth and long dark curly hair, between 20 and 30.

Allegan County Sheriff ’s Office asks that anyone with informatio­n call 269673-3899 or Allegan County Silent Observer at 1-800-554-3633.
