LUCY (FORMERLY LYRA) - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / BULLDOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Bulldog / Mixed (short coat). ***Lucy (AKA Lyra) is with a loving foster near Ringoes, NJ. An application for her adoption can be submitted at socorescue (no need to Register or Login. Questions about Lyra and/or our adoption policy should be sent to socorescue8gmail; please do not call the rescue's number.*** Lyra arrived in NJ a timid and fearful pup. While her siblings all got adopted, she needed the love, care and patience that fostering provides. Over the months, Lyra transformed into Lucy, a playful, confident, affectionate pup. Lucy is house and crate trained and loves adventures in the car. She knows basic commands and is working on leash training. At nearly a year old, she has some puppy energy and can be a rascal but she is food-motivated and eager to learn. She is unsure around other dogs so will be best as an only dog. Lucy will do great in a loving home with a family who is up for continuing her training and giving her all the love she deserves.

The pups, only 7-8 weeks old at the time, had not received any of their required vaccinations or de-wormings and were left to roam freely around the property which was littered with trash, broken down vehicles and other unsanitary conditions. upon their arrival to SoCo Rescue, we immediately began administering their vet care. Lyra has now received all of her first year "puppy" vaccinations, de-wormings and other preventative care. She's also been started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
