Story
Lucy may be small, but she’s full of personality! This compact little cannonball loves to snuggle close—and we mean close. If you're looking for a dog who thinks being your shadow isn’t quite close enough, Lucy is your girl.She enjoys lounging most of the day but surprises you with quick bursts of playful energy. She’s crate trained, heartworm negative, and adores kids and cats (though the cats may be a bit confused by her enthusiastic attempts to play). Lucy generally does best with small dogs, but with proper, very slow introductions, she could be a great match with a, laid-back big dog. This would require some patience on your part, she can not be forced into the "fast track" of meeting another dog. That said, Lucy knows who she is: an alpha female through and through. She prefers to be the boss, so she'd thrive in a home with dogs who don’t mind letting her call the shots—or as the only dog.Despite her size, she makes a big impact. She's low to the ground and highly motivated to keep your floors crumb-free. We call that a bonus feature!Lucy is sweet, snuggly, and full of sass. If you're looking for a dog who brings both cuddles and confidence to the table, she might just be your perfect match.

He’s potty trained, adores other dogs, enjoys long naps in the car, and is wonderful with kids and anyone willing to give him love.
