On April 6th, we said “yes” to a momma dog and her eight puppies, who, along with their previous owner, were facing eviction. That day, Lucy and her three-week-old “Lights” began their journey toward forever homes with us. By 10 weeks old, all of her puppies had headed north to join amazing families. Now, after months of love, care and vetting, it’s Lucy’s turn to find a home of her own.
Lucy is three years old and has consistently weighed in at a healthy, athletic 50 pounds. She adores the other dogs in her foster home but is not a fan of cats, so we’re looking specifically for a cat-free home.
As a mom, Lucy was exceptional. She was protective, intuitive, kind, and deeply connected to her puppies. It was a joy to watch her teach, play with, and gently discipline her growing litter. Her maternal instincts extend to her humans, too. She’s a deeply empathetic dog who is always tuned in to the mood around her.
She enjoys zooming around the yard and has picked out a few equally spirited friends to wrestle with. Afterward, she’ll happily soak in the doggy pool in the summer or head inside for a well-earned nap on the couch.
Lucy is smart and responsive. She learns quickly, takes correction seriously, and adapted to crate training like a pro. She loves all toys and treats and will steal your lap at the end of the day.
Lucy's ideal family will give her space to warm up at her own pace to strangers and will handle new introductions with care and patience. She has come so far in her time at Good Catch. From an exhausted momma dog, to a confident and thriving companion.
Lucy is mostly Shepherd (60%) with a splash of 8 other breeds. Her adorably mismatched ears, one up and one down, soften her serious shepherd face, but make no mistake—her working-dog drive is intact. Squirrels beware.
She would thrive in a home with a yard to run in and children over six, as toddlers might be a little overwhelming for her. Lucy has been the matriarch to so many other foster dogs while in our care. She would thrive in a home with another dog but also would do well as a singleton if she gets the enrichment she deserves. She can be a couch potato, but only after she gets her outdoor exercise.
Lucy is fully vetted, microchipped, house trained, leash trained, and has received a ProHeart 12 shot to cover her heartworm prevention for the year. She is ready for her next chapter, and we can’t wait to see her find the home she deserves.
We only use trusted transport partners to deliver our dogs North to their families.

Additional adoption info
We are very transparent with our applicants on all known traits of our dogs/puppies. From negatives to positives, health, behavioral and likes and dislikes. An adopter knows the dog they are adopting before they've even met them.

We are Jen and Lloyd Fairley. Our rescue is located in South Texas where there's a need for better legislation in animal welfare.
We've been saving dogs for almost 20 years, we just never put a name to it. Years of doctoring unknowns and scrambling to find sponsors or adopters for yet another stray soul, has led us here.
We are animal lovers who saw a need, and rather than exhaust our fellow rescues, we joined forces to battle in the war for the underdogs.
We continue to march towards freedom and forever for those abandoned and discarded.
Our dogs are fostered in a dog friendly environment. They are exposed to livestock and cats, and we can quickly determine their requirements with boundaries in a permanent home. They get daily outdoor exercise and sleep in cozy beds in their foster's homes at night. Each dog is spayed or neutered (if older than 6 months), vaccinated, heartworm and tick disease tested and on preventatives. Dogs over 12 months receive a ProHeart12 shot which provides 1 year of prevention to heartworm. We have an extensive deworming protocol and feed a good quality dog food.
Dogs are cat, dog, kid and fence tested before matching them with their humans.
We pride ourselves in being transparent.
We use trusted rescue transport partners to deliver our adopted dogs to their forever homes up North.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions by filling out our contact form or, if interested in one of our dogs, please fill out our adoption application and we'll be in touch within 24 hours.
