Hello, my name is Lucy. I'd really like to find my forever home. I hope that is you. A little about me, I'm about a year old. I'm a mix of a little bit of this and a little bit of that, maybe even Husky; I certainly talk like one, but I don't seem to shed like one. So, you get the good without the bad.
I will sit and cuddle, but it takes a bit of time for me to calm down after outside time. Outside, I prefer a fenced yard over a lead, but it is not required. I'll chase a ball or a stick, but I'm a bit reluctant to give it back. I do prefer we get to know each other before you put your hands in my mouth to take things from me, or into my food dish, but I warm to the idea once we take that time together; My foster can put their hands in my food while I eat, but I do try to push them away with the side of my head (because it's mine and he can get his own :P). I don't growl or show aggression, so that's progress from when I went into rescue as a pup.
I haven't been diagnosed, but I might have a bit of separation anxiety cause when my foster is gone, I created art out of the couch cushions, which he didn't appreciate. So a puppy gate to cordon off couches would be a good idea, currently, my foster keeps me in the kitchen when he leaves, because crates scare me. I am willing to work on it, but I'm not a fan.
I get along with other dogs, but the bigger the better so we can play, but I won't hurt a small dog. Currently, the little dog in the house with me needs a break from my antics from time to time. The Lab in my house is much older and has explained to me that not everything I do is acceptable in the dog world, and the learning curve hasn't been so bad. I just met cats recently and I find them interesting, but I still need time to figure out what I think.
Human kids are ok, but I can be slightly overwhelming at the start with new people, so don't judge me to harshly on my initial excitement. I'm young, and I have a lot to learn yet. I just need some time and patience from you.

Our adoption process begins with the application. After you send in the application it is forwarded to that pups foster family. They review it and set up a time that works for both parties to meet the pup. Once you have met the pup, you can decide whether you'd like to adopt pup or not. The foster also decides whether they feel you would be a good fit for the pup. If everyone is in agreement, we can move forward with the adoption process. When you move forward, you will be sent a text message from Shelterluv to the phone number you provided on your application. This text message has the adoption contract that you sign and the payment link. If you are planning to do a same day meet and adoption, payment and contract need to be completed before taking pup. Otherwise you can set up a pick up time with the foster to pick up your pup. After the pup is adopted, you will receive medical records within 2 weeks. We also have a spay/neuter agreement in the adoption contract. It states that you agree to have your pup sterilized (or scheduled) by 30 days after the 6 month mark, or if pup is older then 6 months, 30 days after adoption. If you choose to get your pup sterilized through us, we contact you closer to the 6 month point, and we put in a request with our vet partners (Golden Valley Animal Hospital or St. Paul Animal Hospital). We will reach out at that time and email you a list of information we will need for the request. If done through us, we cover the cost of sterilization. If you choose to use your own vet, you would send proof of sterilization and we will reimburse $100.

More about this rescue
Our Mission is to love animals. We will take on healthy and sick* animals and try to nurse them back to health. We will do our best to research and keep up with the vet approved method of taking the best care of animals through the help of our vet partners. We will, also, work to help turn any dog, that has the right temperament, into a therapy dog to help children and adults with mental illness. We will work around the clock to take animals out of dangerous situations and put them into loving homes.
