Hi… um, I’m Lucy. I’m a 7-year-old Boxer mix, and, well… I get a little nervous meeting new people—especially men. Sometimes when I’m unsure, I bark just to tell everyone, “Hey, I see you, and I’m not too sure about this yet!” I don’t mean any harm—I just need time to feel safe. Once I know you won’t rush me or push me too fast, I start to relax, take a few deep sniffs, and maybe even sneak a tail wag your way. With patience (and maybe a few freeze-dried chicken treats), I’ll start inching closer until suddenly, I’m leaning into your leg like we’ve known each other forever. I’ve had kind of a bumpy past, so it can take me a while to believe that someone’s really here to stay. But when I do—oh boy—you’ll meet the real me. I’m a total goofball once I’m comfortable! I love to play, bounce around with my silly Boxer wiggles, and show off my “sit,” “down,” and “shake paw” like a pro. I get along well with kids (they make me feel happy and safe), and I don`t mind the company of calm, respectful dogs too. I’ve even lived with a cat before—though I do like to play chase if they’re up for it. I’m not much of an apartment gal—I need a fenced yard where I can sniff, zoom, and sunbathe. When you go out, I do best in a crate (otherwise, I might go on a “remodeling spree” while you’re gone—oops). I know I sound like a project, but really, I’m just a soft heart that needs a gentle hand. Give me time to come around, and I’ll make you laugh every single day. I’ll be your shadow, your bedtime snuggler, and your goofy, loyal best friend—once I’m sure I’m home for good.
