LUCY D6136 - TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 425. Lucy is a 7-year-old (Est. DOB 4/7/2018) terrier mix with a heart as big as her personality. She bears a strong resemblance in appearance to that of a rat terrier, yet has thicker hair like that of a cattle dog, or retriever. She weighs about 20 lbs, is fully vetted, house-trained, and ready to settle into her next and final forever home. Lucy also comes with an abundance of toys, clothing, and other items which were passed along from her prior owner. Lucy’s story is one of resilience. She spent the first few years of her life in what’s believed to have been a hoarding situation with subpar living conditions before being rescued by a kind owner who gave her four wonderful years of love and security. Now, through no fault of her own, she finds herself in foster care waiting for someone new to give her the stability she deserves. Despite all she’s been through, Lucy’s ability to trust and bond is remarkable. She connected with her foster family within a day and quickly became loyal, affectionate, and eager to please. Her favorite things in life are simple pleasures such as curling up in a warm blanket, burrowing under the covers at bedtime, and perching on the back of a couch like a little cat to survey her kingdom. She loves being pet and scratched, and if you find the right spot, she'll display a smile of appreciation. If you stop, however, she'll gently reach her paw out to pull your hand back close to remind you that she's not done receiving pets or scratches. Lucy has an easygoing energy level. She’s calm and content lounging around the house, but when invited to play, she’ll happily run around and play chase. She’s the perfect mix of cozy companion and playful spirit. A few things to know: Lucy does have a “nervous bark” when meeting new people or hearing unfamiliar sounds at home. It’s her way of processing excitement and nerves. With a calm introduction, she settles very quickly (warming up to new people within a minute or less). For that reason, Lucy would do best in a single-family home rather than an apartment or townhouse, where shared walls might trigger her to bark at noises she hears. She does wonderfully with children and loves spending time with her foster family’s kids. She’s kennel-trained, potty-trained, and comfortable being left alone for reasonable periods during the day. While reasonable in a kennel at night, it would be her dream come true to be welcomed to sleep under the blankets with you. Lucy is a loving, loyal, and gentle companion who just wants to be near her people. She’s truly a “10 out of 10” dog in every way except for her nervous bark, which just makes her a little more honest about her feelings. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and snuggly dog who will quickly become your shadow, Lucy might just be the one for you. Interested in adopting this lovable animal?
