Story
We have a transport leaving at the end of October 2026 from where we are located in Southern California to NorCal, OR, and surrounding states as needed for our adopting families where we bring our dogs all the way to their homes 💗 For peace of mind we never ask for anything up front. The adoption fee along with your share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person ultimately finalizing the adoption then and there with you. We would love to add Lacey to our trip for the right family 😊
Meet Lacey, our beautiful Cavapoo girl, born November 11, 2024, weighing 16.2 pounds of pure happiness, love, and personality! She is fully grown, at a wonderfully healthy weight, and has one of those extraordinary little spirits that makes it nearly impossible to be around her without smiling. 🩷
There are some dogs you meet who take a little time to introduce themselves, and then there is Lacey, who has absolutely never met a stranger in her life! 😂 I will never forget the very first moment I met her. Her mom was holding her in her arms, and Lacey was so overcome with excitement at the sight of someone new that she quite literally jumped out of her arms, ran straight over to me, and immediately rolled onto her back, belly up, asking for belly rubs as though we had been best friends for years! And the moment she received those belly rubs? She jumped right into my arms, completely content and convinced that was exactly where she belonged. That was my introduction to Lacey, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect representation of the beautiful soul she is.
She is HAPPY. Not just occasionally happy or happy when something exciting is happening, but genuinely, wholeheartedly happy to be alive, to be loved, and to have someone to share her world with. She has this incredible way of making every interaction feel like the best part of her day, whether you’re greeting her after being away, inviting her onto the couch, or simply walking into the same room. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious, and the love she gives is so abundant that I truly believe she is meant to transform someone’s world in a way only she can, with enough love to carry through a few lifetimes and then some. 🩷
Lacey is incredibly friendly, outgoing, affectionate, and spirited, with a personality that is as welcoming as it is joyful. She absolutely adores people and does beautifully with men, women, and children alike. She is equally wonderful with other dogs and cats, making her a lovely candidate for a home with existing furry family members or one where she can enjoy being someone’s one and only. She is naturally social and loves the company of others, but what makes her especially wonderful is how easily she settles into whatever is happening around her.
She can be your little adventure companion, happily accompanying you as you venture out into the world, explore somewhere new, or enjoy a beautiful afternoon together. She can just as easily be your lounging companion, curled up beside you while you watch a movie, catch up on your favorite show, or simply enjoy a quiet day at home. She loves to play, loves affection, and loves being included, but she doesn’t need every moment to revolve around excitement. If your day is full of activity, she will happily embrace it. If your day calls for rest, she will be just as content sharing those peaceful moments with you. She has a wonderful ability to adapt to the rhythm of the people she loves, finding joy in the simplest things because, to Lacey, being together is what matters most.
She is also a beautifully mannered girl with an established foundation of training that makes sharing a home with her such a pleasure. Lacey is house trained and understands our daily potty routine wonderfully. When we ask the dogs who needs to go outside, she will happily head out if she needs to relieve herself, and if she doesn’t, she simply stays behind. She understands what is being asked of her and has been wonderfully consistent with her routine here.
She is crate trained as well and sleeps peacefully in her crate throughout the entire night. She settles in comfortably and understands that nighttime is for resting. While she does beautifully with this arrangement, she is certainly not limited to it. If her future family would prefer having her sleep in a little bed beside theirs, or even snuggled up in bed with them, I believe she would happily welcome either arrangement. She is such an easygoing, adaptable little girl who simply wants to be part of her person’s life, whatever that may look like.
Lacey also has the beautiful, poodle-like coat that so many families appreciate in a Cavapoo. Her coat has the soft, curly characteristics of her Poodle heritage and is considered hypoallergenic, making her a wonderful possibility for families seeking a lower-shedding companion, although no dog is guaranteed to be completely allergen-free. As with any Poodle-type coat, regular brushing and professional grooming will be important to keeping her comfortable, healthy, and looking her very best.
Her story before coming to us is one of love and a difficult but selfless decision. Lacey was very much loved by her previous owner, who found herself carrying responsibilities that left very little time for the companion she adored. She worked during the day and spent her evenings caring for her mother, leaving her with hardly any time to give Lacey the companionship and attention she knew she deserved. It wasn’t that Lacey was unwanted or that she had done anything wrong. Quite the opposite. Her mom recognized that this beautiful girl had so much love to give and deserved a life where someone could be present for all those little moments that make having a dog so special.
Rather than continuing to let the demands of life keep them apart, she made the difficult decision to ask us to take Lacey into our care and find her the incredible person, home, and life she knew was waiting for her. It was a decision made with Lacey’s happiness at heart, and one we are honored to help fulfill.
Since joining our family here at Bread of Life K9 Refuge, Lacey has continued to show us just how remarkable she is. She has been surrounded by love, companionship, structure, and daily opportunities to enjoy life while we prepare her for the next beautiful chapter of her story. Her natural confidence, wonderful social skills, and affectionate nature have made her such a joy to have with us. She is one of those dogs who reminds you that sometimes the greatest gifts in life arrive on four little paws, with a wagging tail and a heart that has absolutely no idea how to love halfway.
Her veterinary care has been completed, and she is ready to begin her next chapter with a wonderful foundation of health and wellness. Lacey has been spayed, microchipped, and is current on her vaccinations. She has also received a thorough veterinary examination, which went beautifully, including an evaluation of her dental health. Her teeth were found to be in excellent condition, with no dental concerns noted during her examination. At 16.2 pounds, she is fully grown and maintaining a healthy weight.
What I hope most for Lacey is that she finds someone who will treasure the very thing that makes her so special: her enormous capacity to love. Someone who will appreciate her enthusiastic greetings, her spontaneous requests for belly rubs, her desire to be close, and the way she can turn even the most ordinary day into something worth celebrating. She doesn’t need a life filled with extravagant adventures or constant entertainment. She simply deserves a life where she is included, cherished, and given the opportunity to love her person as wholeheartedly as she knows how.
I can already imagine the happiness she will bring to her future home. The excitement when her family walks through the door, the little moments of laughter that come from her playful personality, the peaceful evenings spent curled up together, and the countless memories that will be made simply by sharing life with her.
Lacey has so much of herself to give, and the beautiful thing about her is that she gives it so freely. She doesn’t wait to be invited to love you. She just does. Completely, joyfully, and without hesitation. 🩷
Her adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of her adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/lacey-3
It helps cover her completed veterinary care, including her spay, vaccinations, microchipping, and comprehensive health examination, along with the months of daily care, training, grooming, and socialization we have lovingly invested in her throughout her time with us.
Lacey is ready for someone to love her just as wholeheartedly as she will love them, and I have no doubt that whoever is blessed enough to call this beautiful girl theirs will wonder how they ever lived without her. 🩷
