My personality

My story

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

My name is Lucy. My human owners gave me lots of love but my mom got very sick and had to go to assisted living, my dad loved me too but just could not afford to take care of me and my mom-- I'm looking for new loving parents-- Please adopt me. I walk well on a leash or harness and I'm house trained. I would be an excellent companion, I love to snuggle under the covers in bed or on the couch. I do get very attached to my person and follow them closely. I provided great entertainment when playing with a toy or my tail. I Love peanut butter and treats but I'm sort of a picky eater, maybe mixing in some canned food with dry kibble would be nice. I'm a little shy at first when meeting people or dogs; took about 1 1/2 weeks for me to be really comfortable in my foster home. I will bark at dogs when first getting to know them or if they're barking or rough housing. I like to be the alpha and if the other dog or cat is calm I'll try to sit on them to dominate; actually pretty cute! If cats run I will chase but do nothing with them. If cats are calm, I walk right by them. I go to visit the nursing homes, but I'm wiggly until I'm ready to be in a lap. I Loves to ride in the car. We don't usually adopt out dogs but she is spayed, heartworm negative and on prevention, and current on all shots-- Please adopt her.
