Meet Lucy, a resilient 4 year old shelter dog who has been patiently waiting for her forever home for over a year. Despite her incredibly long stay, Lucy’s spirit remains unbreakable, and her love for life shines through her. 🤩 🐶 Lucy is a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs, always up for play dates and furry adventures. She is a tough player though so she will need dogs who can match her or are great with a variety of play styles , her energy and enthusiasm are contagious! 🐾 🚫 However, she’s not a fan of feline friends, so a cat-free household would be best for Lucy. 🐈 🎾 Lucy’s love for toys is unmatched! From squeaky balls to chew toys, she can’t get enough playtime. You’ll have a blast watching her fetch, tug, and enjoy every moment of play. 🎉 🏡 Lucy deserves a loving family who understands that patience, care, and endless treats will help her blossom into the incredible pup she’s meant to be. 🥰 A year in a shelter environment is a long time and she will need adequate support from her new guardian adjusting. ♥️ She is incredibly sweet, and loves attention. She will happily snuggle with you and receive all the love you can give her! She will also need consistent Training; Lucy will come with 1 free training session from Let’s Get Pawsitive LLC but we recommend that she will get contained training. It can even just be by YOU, her new guardian. Training will not only make her a well-behaved family member but also strengthen the bond between you and Lucy. Lastly, Lucy is a high-energy dog who loves to play and be active. You will have to be sure she gets plenty of physical exercise through daily walks, runs, or playtime in a secure yard. This will not only keep her physically fit but also mentally stimulated. 🙌🥰 Are you ready to open your heart and home to this beautiful, spirited pup? ❤️🐾 📞 Contact Loving Paws Adoption Center to meet Lucy and give her the forever home she’s been patiently waiting for. Together, let’s make Lucy’s dreams come true! 🏠🐶

You may be surprised to find that adopting a pet is a more involved process than you'd imagined. Our intent is not to frustrate you. Rather, everything we do is in the best interest of the pets in our care. Our goal is to help you find your perfect match, and to give them the best possible chance of finding a permanent, safe and loving home that meets their individual needs.
Before meeting our pets you will need to fill out an adoption application and submit it. The questions on the application help us match your needs with the needs of our available pet. Our application includes questions about your living situation, pet history, current pets, the type of pet you are looking for and the way in which it will be cared for. We're not just being nosy! Some of our dogs and cats would be good with kids, or get along with other pets or are appropriate for first time pet owners. We also have pets with special needs, or behavioral issues, or who would be more appropriate for an experienced pet owner.
We do reserve the right to refuse adoption. If your application for the adoption of a pet is not approved, we will do our best to explain the reason(s). A denial is not a rejection of you as a person; it is a refusal to place a pet in a situation that we do not feel is a good match or does not meet our policies.
Please note that we prefer and may require a fenced yard for many of our dogs. Exceptions are made on an individual basis depending on the dog's needs, the person's dog experience, the dog's and person's activity levels, home environment and other factors.
A member of our adoption's team will contact you and can answer questions and set up an appointment if we think the pet is a good match for you. At our facility, we have an outside fenced area where you can visit and play with the dogs you are interested in. Most of our cats roam free in our cat room, which is a great environment for you to get to know them and their personalities.
We generally do not do same day adoptions. We want to give you some time to think about it - it's a big commitment. This also gives us time to do any vet checks, home checks, background checks and complete the adoption paperwork. You can generally pick up your pet the following day or arrange for another day that would be convenient for you and gives us enough time to complete any requirements.
We offer a 7 day trial with your new pet, You will be required to put the adoption fee down, take your new pet home. Around day 3 we will call to see how things are going. if there are issues, a member of our team (usually our dog trainer) can come and work with you. On day 7, or before, if your new pet is a perfect fit, we will finalize your adoption. if not you can bring the pet back , try another pet or get your money back.
Once you adopt a pet from us, we encourage you to keep in touch! Please call us for advice if you are having any problems or have questions. Many times a small problem can be fixed before it becomes a bigger problem. And we love to get emails, letters and photos from people who have adopted a pet from us.
