Lucy is an adorable 4-year-old Black Lab/Hound mix. She was adopted by her current family about 2 years ago. Unfortunately, Lucy does not do well with the family’s cats. She chases them and plays rough with them. Things have been escalating and the family is concerned that the cats and/or Lucy will get hurt. So, it’s time for Lucy to find a cat-free forever home!
Lucy is up to date on all vaccines and has no health issues. She weighs about 66 lbs. and is in good shape. Lucy is housebroken. She will go to the door and ring a bell to let you know she needs to go out. Lucy is used to a fenced yard but does not need a yard as long as she is walked regularly. She currently goes for a mile long walk once or twice a day. She would be happy to do even more!
Lucy has lots of energy. She loves to go for walks and hikes. She used to run with her dad before the couple had a baby. She enjoys a game of fetch or tug. She is very food motivated, as most Labs are! That makes training easier. Lucy already knows quite a few commands and follows them most of the time at home. She needs more practice outside where there are distractions.
Lucy lives with a 1-year-old girl. She’s tolerant of the baby but is not always thrilled with the baby’s quick movements and “clumsy affection”. Lucy sometimes forgets her size and gets mouthy or pay nips when she gets overly excited during play. For these reasons, Lucy would do best in a home with older children or no children.
Lucy enjoys trips to the dog park and loves to play with other dogs. She sometimes goes to a doggie daycare and is rated “yellow” on their green/yellow/red scale. This is because Lucy sometimes plays rough and doesn’t always read other dogs’ cues to back off. Lucy does well with dogs who have the same play style but might be annoying to dogs who don’t like that. Lucy would do best in a home where she is the only dog but has the opportunity to play with other dogs who share her play style. Lucy barks at other dogs she sees on walks, but ignores other dogs in the vet's office, even if the other dogs are barking and making a commotion. Lucy wears a front-clip harness or a Gentle Leader on walks. She may pull a little but walks nicely for the most part.
Lucy is shy when meeting new people. She approaches cautiously, wanting to sniff you and hang out for a bit before you interact with her. Once she warms up to you, she is ready for pets and playtime. She’s playful and affectionate. We saw her Lab personality come out when the toys came out. Lucy got the zoomies when we tossed a toy for her. She loves to play!
Lucy is crate-trained and sleeps in her crate overnight. She has run of the house when the family is home and is gated in the kitchen when the family goes out.
Lucy is fine when left alone (gated in the kitchen) during the workday. She thrives on routine. She is sometimes anxious if left alone outside of normal times. When anxious, she may chew baseboards or cardboard items, pull towels off the rack, or pee in the house. But other times, she is fine when left alone. Her family does not know why she sometimes gets stressed and acts out.
Lucy is a sweet, friendly, affectionate, and playful girl. She is initially cautious when meeting new people, approaching slowly and backing away if you try to pet her before she is ready. She seems to do best if you ignore her and let her come to you. Once she is comfortable, her true personality comes out, and you see that bouncy, fun-loving dog!
