My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lucy
...in the sky with diamonds, is a true gem of a pup who needs patience, love and encouragement to be coaxed out to shine. Lucy had a difficult 1 or 2 years being used as a blood donor dog in a vet clinic. So she’s initially fearful of any person until she’s had plenty of time to learn they mean her no harm…which she has with her patient foster mom. This is an extreme case of fearfulness. She is on an antidepressant and that has helped, but anyone adopts her will need to have the temperament and patience to work with her long term.

She is a smart girl ready to become bonded to her forever person. Lucy will be a loyal, affectionate, playful pup in the right setting. An experienced dog person and quiet stable home with adults would suit her best. She is happily interested in other dogs and would love to be part of a doggy duo. Mornings are her favorite time to romp and play fetch.
