My story

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

Fenced yard required

Lucy is a sweet senior who came to us after being found as a stray. Like most older dogs, she has some physical challenges, but she is able to work through them during her daily routine. Lucy is mostly deaf, but she navigates her world using her bark to let people know when she’s there or if they are in her space, and she responds to her foster mom‘s hand commands and gestures. She knows what to do when she sees a leash, and when her foster mom points to the crate, she knows to go in. A fenced yard is required for Lucy in order to keep her safe, particularly when she runs off after squirrels.

Lucy is the perfect companion dog for a home that likes to go at a slower pace. She enjoys going on walks and car rides, and prefers more leisurely activities, as she does have arthritis. Stairs are a challenge on the way up, but she is able to go down.

Lucy loves attention, and she will paw or mouth you to make sure you know she is interested. She greets strangers with a wagging tail, and she is also good with just about everyone she meets. She is great with teenagers, but younger children might be too high energy for Lucy. She gets along with the resident dogs, but she hasn’t been around any other types of pets.

While Lucy is beyond her playful puppy days, she still has so much love to give.
