LUCY - HOUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 225. You MUST submit a Best Friend Pet Adoption application if you are interested in Lucy. The link to our application is toolkit.rescuegroups/of/f?c=WHMSYCNC or at bfpa. Meet Lucy – the sweetest, most easygoing companion you could ask for! Lucy is a gentle, affectionate 10-year-old girl who’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by people who appreciate her quiet charm. She’s the perfect mix of independent and affectionate — happy to hang out near you while you work or relax, and always ready for a cozy snuggle or a back scratch (especially if you’ll make a leg bridge for her to crawl under!). Lucy is completely housebroken and crate trained — in fact, she loves her crate and often goes there on her own for naps. The only reason she’s crated when her foster family leaves the house is because she’s can be a counter-surfer to help keep the kitchen clean by reminding her humans to tidy up! She has a calm, steady energy level: mostly a laid-back “potato” indoors, but she perks right up when it’s time for her daily walks. Lacey walks beautifully on leash, especially with a front-clip harness, and enjoys 1–2 mile strolls with her fosters. She’s quiet, well-mannered, and perfectly content in any living situation — whether it’s a house with a yard or an apartment with regular leash walks. Lucy has lived peacefully as both an only dog and with another canine companion, and she’s generally polite but reserved when meeting new dogs. She’s a little timid in public, but she warms up quickly to visitors in her home. She hasn’t been around cats, but she’s so calm and gentle that she’d likely adjust well with the right introduction. Because Lucy values calm and predictability, she would do best in a home with adults or teens rather than young children. She’s quiet, low-maintenance, and incredibly loving — the kind of dog who brings comfort and warmth to every room she’s in. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle soul who’s past the puppy chaos and ready to simply be your best friend, Lucy is your girl. She’ll make every day a little softer, a little calmer, and a whole lot sweeter. ❤️ EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Lucy was adopted from Best Friend Pet Adoption as a young puppy. Her family gave her a great home but as they expanded their human family, Lucy had a hard time adjusting to having toddlers around. Her family felt that Lucy (now called Lacey) would do best in a home without children. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. We prefer applicants that live no further than one hour from Cary NC.
