My story

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

Meet Lucy: Your Future Best Friend

Lucy is a beautiful 2-year-old Border Collie who is ready to find a forever family to call her own! She is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and healthy and happy. Lucy weighs 47 pounds.

Lucy absolutely adores people. She thrives on affection, praise, and treats, and she’ll happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give. She enjoys riding in the car, going for walks, and lounging on beds or couches right alongside her humans. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants to be near you, Lucy is your girl.

She is potty trained and doing very well with kennel training. Lucy knows her basic commands, walks nicely on a leash, and is incredibly smart, true to her Border Collie roots. She learns quickly and is eager to please, making her a joy to train.

Lucy generally gets along well with other dogs. She moves quickly (again, herding breed energy!), which can sometimes be a little intimidating to more reserved dogs, but she demonstrates appropriate play behavior and is submissive with her foster family’s dogs. She’s often seen “cobbing” her foster family’s puppy, her BFF, which is as adorable as it sounds.

She is still learning about toys and can be unsure of toys that make sudden noises, but she’s adapting quickly and growing more confident every day.

As a herding breed, Lucy has a history of chasing livestock. Fast movement excites Lucy. She has shown interest in cats, so a cat-free home or a very slow, structured introduction would be best. She has not shown any herding tendencies towards other items such as strollers or cars.
Lucy truly will melt your heart. She is sweet, loyal, and ready to devote herself to a family who will continue to guide her and love her.

Currently fostered in Salem, Oregon.

Her adoption fee is $400. If you are interested in adopting Lucy and are pre-approved, please contact the adoption team at hunahapps@gmail.com. If you are not already approved, you can fill out an application here: http://herduneededahome.com/adopt-a-dog

If you’re ready to add a smart, affectionate, and devoted companion to your life, Lucy is waiting to meet you!
