She is great with other dogs, is house trained, crate trained, and is learning new commands quickly! She does need someone who can continue to work with her on her training and give her clear boundaries. She also would benefit from having a canine companion at home with her to help with her socialization and keep her company. As with any other young GSP, she needs a good amount of exercise so an active home would be ideal for Little Lucy, but also one that can create a calming environment when she’s not out exercising. Please read more about the placement criteria for Little Lucy before applying: 1) Rural or quiet suburban setting – no cities. 2) Calm environment – not a hustling bustling household with people coming and going all the time or tons of guests. 3) The right family or person – one that can provide a consistent relationship with LL, along with a routine, schedule, exercise, and daily work on the training activities (which can be incorporated into the daily routine throughout the day, does not have to mean a separate hour of training) 4) Kids – preferably none. Could consider older teens, depending on the personality of the kids – calm, respectful. Visiting kids: calm respectful kids under supervision and with Little Lucy having her own safe space that she can retreat to at any time where she will not be bothered or cornered. Status: Available (please see placement criteria above) Location: Sacramento Area, CA Adoption $: $310.00 with a $50.00 refund upon completion of a positive-reinforcement agility or obedience training class from a trainer on our training list, or approved by us in advance. Weight: 40 pounds Age: 1 year Kids: Adults only Other dogs: Good with other dogs Cats: Unknown Hunting: Unknown Our adoption process begins with our adoption questionnaire: http://norcalgsprescue.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (Please note that we adopted primarily within Northern California and our minimum age for kids is 6) If you'd like to see what Little Lucy's been up to, check out her posting in the Available Foster Dogs section: http://norcalgsprescue.org/category/available-dogs/our-foster-dogs/.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
