My story

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

Lucy is a 2 year old spayed female mix who weighs 23 lbs. She has a Boxer face and markings and short legs like a Basset or Corgi. She was rescued in Indiana and lived on a farm with lots of other dogs. But she got adopted and the household took in another female Corgi too close in age and size so fights broke out and Lucy has lost her home. She hated the crate but they crated her to keep her safe from the other dog so she developed anxiety. Medication did not help and made her more anxious, especially around crates and gates. A holistic-minded home would be a dream for her as she needs calm energy in her new home and homeopathic remedies which we know work better than pharmaceuticals. Lucy is an old soul and so soft and gentle. She loves her people and would be okay alone for a couple hours as you get her acclimated to your home. She would do best with an adopter who has dog experience. We just don't want to take a chance of having her lose her home again so we will place her as only dog. She can probably eventually live with a male dog. Lucy has a lot to offer. She loves long walks and loves to ride in the car. She rides nicely in the back seat. She is a people lover and is house trained and good on leash. She likes her people close by or she gets anxious. She is not destructive, though. She loves cuddling and belly rubs.
