My personality

My story

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

Meet Lucy – Your New Best Friend!
🐾 Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier
🐾 Age: Around 2 years
🐾 Weight: 57lbs of pure muscle and love
🐾 Ready for Adoption: After July 30th (post-spay)

Lucy may be petite, but don’t let her size fool you—this girl is rocking a perfect 12-pack and has the personality to match! She was rescued just in time after her foster mom spotted her dodging traffic on 8 Mile. Since then, she’s been living the good life and is ready to find her forever home.

Lucy is a bubbly, social butterfly who goes to work every day at a security company, charming everyone from customers to office staff. She’s got a soft spot for the fellas. Like a big soft spot. As the honorary "temp office pooch," Lucy brings smiles wherever she goes.

She’d thrive in a home with preteens and up—she’s gentle, playful, and loves to show off her tricks. Ask her to sit, or lay down (she knows them all), and don’t be surprised if she flops over for a belly rub or a good butt scratch.

Tug-of-war is her absolute favorite game, especially with a longer rope, but she’s also happy squeaking toys or chasing after a ball. She walks well on a harness, is housebroken, and doesn’t need to be crated—she’s been a respectful houseguest in her foster home. She does have a high prey drive, so a house without cats is a must!

Lucy hasn't had formal dog introductions yet, but she gets excited and happy when she sees other dogs. Due to her prey drive, she’ll need a cat-free home.

She’s almost done with all her vetting—Lucy is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and will be spayed on July 30th. A few days after that, she’ll be ready to join her forever family.

Could Lucy be your ride-or-die girl?
If you're looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with a heart of gold and muscles to match, Lucy is your girl.

More about this rescue

EDUCATE~SPAY OR NEUTER
RESCUE~NURTURE & NOURISH​

OUR MISSION!
Providing for Paws mission is to rescue neglected, abused and sick animals, or animals that have been displaced from their home. We frequently work in communities that have a high rate of stray animals such as Detroit. We are commonly in these areas and working to educate owners with animals in bad situations, where we often find strays that come to us very neglected or abused.

Providing for Paws has several people asking if they can surrender their family pet(s) to us every day. We first ask to see if we can help the families keep their pets in the home by offering our services. When out on the road or when we are checking on an animal that might be in jeopardy, we always try to educate the owner(s) because we feel education is the key to reducing the number of animals that end up in rescues and shelters.

If we can provide services to help keep the animal in that home while supporting and educating the owner on proper pet care, this will benefit both the animal and rescue organizations. If we feel the animal is being neglected by their owner after we try to educate them, we will ask the owner to surrender that animal to us or another rescue organization, for the greater good of the animal. Unfortunately, the need for rescue and shelter placement is much greater than the availability and typically outweighs the help we have to offer through rescue.

Our goal is to someday have no more abused, neglected or displaced animals.
