Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is LucyBell come see me at Bishops Orchards in Guilford on June 29/30, from 11:00am to 4:00pm -- here is more information about me:
GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEAL HOME:
Hi! My name is Lucy Bell and I am what is known as a Black and Tan Coonhound. I am only about a year old and weigh 46 pounds, although foster mom says I should gain a pound or two (what girl doesn't like having that problem :) I was found running loose a few months ago (a problem us hunting dogs down south find ourselves in right after the season is over) and ended up at the animal shelter with very little chance of finding a home. Foster mom says hopefully my luck is going to change as I am going to hitch a ride with WAG to Dog Days. I am a really sweet girl and don't pull much on my leash when going for a walk. I have been introduced to a lot of dogs at my foster's, both big and small, and get along with all of them. I am currently sharing a large kennel with Darby, who is also coming to Dog Days, and we get along just fine. We are working on my housebreaking skills and I can be a little vocal when left alone since all I want to do is be with my people. But, after all, I am a coonhound. I really, really want to find a forever home--could that be with you?
GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
LucyBell has been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative
ADOPTION FEES
Rescues participating in our events are not allowed to charge more than $385 an adoption fee and some adoption fees are much less - it depends on what the rescue chooses to charge - Dog Days does not take any portion of the adoption fees.

ADOPTION PROCESS - Before the Event
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption weekend. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.
ADOPTION PROCESS - During the Event Weekend
-- Plan on spending at least three to four hours going through the adoption process. We want you to be completely confident in your new pal so we will ask you to speak to a trainer, a veterinarian as well as interview with a member of our adoption team and the rescue.
-- As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog.
-- PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.
Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.
