, a bright, playful young herding breed (Australian Shepherd / Border Collie best guess) mix with a heart full of love and a zest for life! Just over a year old and weighing 29 pounds, Luci has that wonderful “forever puppy” energy that keeps life fun and active. She thrives on movement and interaction, whether she’s happily chasing other dogs in true herder fashion, splashing in the water, tossing around her toys, or heading out on a new adventure with her people. At the same time, she has a wonderfully soft side and absolutely adores snuggling up with her humans when playtime winds down. Luci’s affectionate nature is one of her most endearing traits. She loves being close to her people and enjoys quality cuddle time just as much as a good game of chase. She is very food motivated and already sits beautifully, with “down” coming along as she continues learning, making her a great candidate for further training. She has had no accidents in the house so far and has proven to be a polite pup who only chews on her toys. When it’s time to settle, she will follow a treat into her crate, voice a brief protest, and then relax quietly. This sweet girl gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, birds, kids, and adults alike. She truly seems to love everyone she meets and brings a joyful, friendly energy wherever she goes. On leash, Luci is still learning her manners and can get excited by squirrels, friendly humans, and interesting sticks along the way, and wants to bark at anything with wheels going by, but her eagerness and intelligence make her progress something to look forward to. She rides in the car wanting to stay close to her person, offering a little whining but plenty of companionship. She is healthy, happy and she brings with her all the best qualities of a young, well-adjusted pup. Luci will shine brightest in an active home that can keep up with her playful spirit and herding breed energy. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic companion who will keep you moving, make you laugh, and curl up with you at the end of the day, Luci is ready to be your new best friend.
