My story

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


This dog's fosterhome is located in: Suffolk, Virginia

Lucy Low Rider (named because of her very short legs) is a tiny little girl who was born in a puppy mill and lived her life in a cage having puppies until she was 3 years old. She is very shy but has blended well with a variety of animals in her new home. After 6 months in her foster home, she has become a very dominant little girl as she tries finding her way. She does "encourage" all the other dogs to play with her. She is sweet but reserved and will take a little time to feel safe. She is much better with women but will warm up to men with time. Lucy loves to be held and will make someone a wonderful companion. She does not do well in a crate after being taken out of the puppy mill. Since she has had a taste of life outside the kennel, she now panics when she has to go back in the cage. With time this might improve, but Lucy would do much better in a home with someone that is gone very little or can take her to work. She can go anywhere with you and loves riding in the car. Due to Lucy’s size (8 pounds) and cage issues, she will not be placed in a home with children under 10 years old, nor can she be flown in a cargo hold.


OUR ADOPTION FEE is $150 ($175 for puppies younger than 12 months; $200 for American Hairless Terriers).


QUESTIONS ABOUT ADOPTION? Read the "Adoption Process" section below!


IS THIS DOG AVAILABLE? If the bio above doesn't say that there's an adoption pending, then YES! he or she IS available. As soon as we approve an application, we'll post it, so you will NOT get more current info by emailing us to ask if the dog is available. To "get in line" to adopt or get more details, you MUST CLICK HERE to submit an Adoption Application.


QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS DOG?
The email address on this page is for website-related issues ONLY. For answers to specific questions about a particular dog, you MUST submit an Adoption Application! That is the only way to access the fosterparent for this particular dog, who is the only person who can answer specifics about this dog's personality or geographic location. (Our dogs are located in private fosterhomes around the state, and we do not provide those addresses on the Internet or to casual inquiries, and you cannot just "drop by" to see a dog without prearranging it with the fosterhome.) Because we are an all-volunteer organization and receive a very high volume of inquiries, we can only respond personally to people who have demonstrated a serious interest in adoption by filling out our application.
