Story
Lucy - 23494 - Kennel 29 - Arrived October 18, 2026 - German Shepherd mix - tan and black - female - 7 years old - 70 lbs - Up to date on vaccines - Heartworm positive
Lucy is a beautiful girl with tall, alert ears, warm amber eyes, a dark mask, and a thick, silvery coat that is growing back more every day. Her big, goofy grin and pink tongue hanging out say everything about her sunny spirit.
Lucy arrived at Cobb Animal Services on October 18, 2026, after her previous owners could no longer care for her. She came in almost hairless, and thanks to medicated baths from a wonderful volunteer, her coat is coming back in beautifully. At 7 years old and 70 pounds, she has so much good living left to do, and she deserves a home where she can finish growing that coat in comfort.
Lucy is very energetic and loves a good game of tug of war, so she is ready for a person who is up for some fun. She sits for treats, and she is a little strong on leash, which comes from pure excitement for every walk. With training and practice, that enthusiasm settles into good manners.
Lucy is heartworm positive. If you live in Georgia, Cobb Animal Services will cover the entire cost of heartworm treatment if you adopt her. You simply need to bring her back for her scheduled treatment appointments and give the prescribed oral medication at home. Heartworms are not contagious between dogs. With proper treatment and care, heartworm-positive dogs can go on to live full, happy lives.
Lucy is up to date on vaccines. Because of her age, she cannot be spayed at the shelter. Spaying is not required for adoption, but if her adopter chooses to have it done, it would need to be arranged with their own veterinarian. Come meet Lucy in kennel 29. She has waited long enough.
