Story
Meet the loyal, playful Luthien (“Lu”). She is a 2-year-old, 50-pound lab/collie mix with beautiful glossy black fur, one white sock, and a friendly attitude toward people. Lu was rescued from the animal shelter in Collin County, TX, in September 2023. Despite coming from a pet hoarding situation, Lu adjusted to her new indoor-outdoor life very well. Lu has been reactive to the prior resident older dog and would be safer and happier as an only pet.
Lu enjoys running in the backyard, going for walks, and playing or chilling in the house with her people. While she adores individual, affectionate attention, she also seems to understand when playtime is over and calms down. She could easily rise to the activity level of a very active owner, but as long as she gets some daily mental and physical exercise, she is content to just be near her people. Lu is extremely gentle and easygoing with kids and babies, reactive toward dogs, and untested around cats. Her ideal living environment is the only animal in the home of involved owners.
Lu is crate trained, house trained, and improving on leash training. She is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped. She obeys sit, lay down, leave it, outside, and backup, and is improving on wait. She is very easy to train and motivated to learn! Some of Lu’s favorites are tug of war, fetch, space to run, belly and chest rubs, food puzzles, gentle brushing, car rides, walks, being outside, a cozy dog bed, dog chews and antlers, peanut butter, and watching TV together in the evening.
This committed adventure buddy is deserving of the perfect fur-ever home. Are you ready to love her? Lu is ready to love you. Apply to adopt Luthien today!
