LUCY - POODLE (STANDARD) / CHESAPEAKE BAY RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Chesapeake Bay Retriever / Mixed. Looking for a smart, energetic companion who’s always ready for adventure? Meet Lucy, a stunning 3.5 year old, 55-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Poodle mix with the loyalty of a guardian and the heart of a hunter. Lucy thrives in the great outdoors—she loves stretching her legs in a secure, fenced yard and would be happiest in a home where she has space to run. True to her retriever instincts, she’s highly prey-driven and finds joy in chasing squirrels and rabbits. A country home or an active family who appreciates her strong hunting drive would be ideal. She’s deeply loyal, protective of her people, and incredibly sweet with kids. Lucy is crate trained, fully house trained, and knows how to settle down indoors after a good run outside. She’s dog-friendly, but she does have a dominant personality and will try to assert herself around other dogs—so a home with confident, well-matched dogs (or no other dogs) is preferred. Lucy loves to be around her people, enjoying scratches around her neck and ears. She'll often lay her head on your lap and gaze adoringly up at her people. What Lucy Needs: • A fenced yard (non-negotiable—she will chase wildlife) • An active household or outdoor-loving individual • Someone who understands and respects her prey drive • A home without small pets or livestock • A family with or without other dogs (as long as introductions are done thoughtfully) • An experienced dog owner who can provide structure and continued training Lucy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and ready to meet her forever person. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent dog with a bold spirit, Lucy may be your perfect match. Available for adoption starting 5/11/2025 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL#16182
