LUCY - GREAT DANE / CANE CORSO MASTIFF / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Dane / Cane Corso Mastiff / Mixed (short coat). Hi! My name is Lucy and I am eight months old. I want to introduce myself and tell you my story. Introductions can be awkward for me, because I’m a shy girl, but I’ve been working on that, and my therapists, er, foster friends, tell me that I’m a good girl and a brave girl and a sweet girl, and I’m just gonna do it! So here goes. Way back last year, I was taken away from my mommy too early and brought to a very noisy, scary place that had a lot of other dogs including all of my brothers and sisters. Luckily, I didn’t have to stay long, because some nice people brought me to a house where I got to live with my brother. Then he got adopted. In fact, all of my brothers and sisters have been adopted. So now, it’s just me. But that’s okay. Because I’m a nice girl and a fun girl and a cuddly girl and I know that someday my family will find me and I will get adopted too. I know I’m not a big girl like the other Great Danes in my play group. But there are a lot of advantages to being a mixed breed. Like, I can fit in any car. Even a Pinto. And I won’t take up a lot of room on the couch. I don’t eat as much or cost as much. I also have stamina. So if you like to run or hike, I won’t need a nap after five minutes. No giant breed experience needed to adopt me either. I’m like a travel sized Dane with a big personality and a wiggly butt! Okay, so about me. I LOVE to play. Especially with dogs! I love all the dogs I’ve met and would love to have a sister or brother. I like fetch, walks, toys, and car rides. I’m a smart girl too. I'm already crate trained and know some commands. If you like to teach tricks, I would love to learn. Also, I’m loyal. Once we’re friends, we’re friends for life! And I will always stand by, just in case you need my help. For instance, if you need someone to snuggle with and watch Netflix, I'm your girl. I can be shy, but I can also be bribed, so treats are a great way to get to know me better! I’m not sure why my family hasn’t found me yet, but I know they’re out there somewhere. Maybe they’ve been on vacation or something. So if you could share this message, and help me find my people, I would sure appreciate it! *Lucy is being fostered in Cary, NC. She is UTD on shots and spayed. She will require a fenced yard.
