My story

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

Meet Lucy!



Lucy is a 4-year-old, 55-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Poodle mix who is equal parts loving companion and spirited adventurer. She's smart, affectionate, and protective of her humans.



Lucy loves her people! She'll seek out ear scratches, lean into neck rubs, and rest her head on your lap while gazing up at you adoringly. When she's not soaking up affection, she's ready to hit the trails—Lucy thrives with daily walks or hikes and loves exploring the outdoors alongside her favorite humans. Lucy loves playing with her toys, chewing on rawhides and is beginning to appreciate a good game of fetch. 



True to her retriever roots, Lucy has a strong prey drive and will happily chase any squirrel or rabbit that crosses her path. She's crate trained, fully house trained, and settles down nicely indoors after getting her exercise.  



She's made impressive progress with leash walking recently and responds well to basic commands—with continued positive reinforcement, she has potential to grow more. Lucy currently knows "sit", "down", "hugs", "paw," and comes when called. She is working on mastering "stay", and with the right treats, she gets better every time! 



Lucy's Ideal Home:



- An active person or family who enjoys regular walks, hikes, or outdoor time 
- A home without other dogs or small pets                                     
- A household without young children (she does well with older kids, around 9+)                                                           
- Someone who appreciates a confident, independent dog and can provide consistent structure and training

Lucy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever person. If you're looking for a loyal, athletic, and affectionate companion with a bold personality, Lucy might be your perfect match.
