Story
🐾 Meet Lucy 🖤🐾 ✨ Fast Facts: 🐶 Name: Lucy 🎂 Age: 10/10/2025 ⚖️ Weight: ~20 lbs 🧬 Breed: Dachshund / Border Collie Mix 🚺 Gender: Female 📅 Intake Date: 04/08/2026 🏠 Rehoming Donation: $400 🐶 Personality Lucy is a tiny, wiggly ray of sunshine packed into a sleek little black coat. Sweet, playful, a little silly, and a whole lot lovable, this girl is full of love and life. She's gentle with everyone she meets and hands out kisses like it's her job. And then there's her signature move... the smile. 😁 Lucy shows her teeth when she's excited, and it is equal parts hilarious and adorable. It's not a warning. It's a full-on "OH MY GOSH HI I LOVE YOU" face, and once you see it, you'll never forget it. 🏡 Perfect Home Lucy would thrive with a family that loves outdoor adventures just as much as lazy couch days. She needs someone who will laugh at her goofy antics and guide her with patience as she continues to grow and learn. A home with a yard is a big plus! 🐕 Compatibility Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs Cats: Yes Kids: Unknown 🧠 Behavior & Training Notes Lucy is house trained and sleeps in her crate at night like a champ. She loves hikes through the woods, sniffing absolutely everything, and keeping a sharp eye out for squirrels. When she spots deer, she lets the whole neighborhood know with a good bark and howl. She also loves zooming around the yard chasing insects, because apparently no creature is too small for her attention. At the end of all that excitement, she's more than happy to curl up on the couch for a nap. The girl has range. 🩺 Health Lucy is missing her right eye, but it hasn't slowed her down for even a second. She plays, explores, and zooms around like any happy puppy, just with a little extra character. She is currently being vetted and will be fully up to date before going to her forever home. 📖 Lucy's Story Lucy came to us from Cherokee County alongside her sister Ethel. While parts of her story are unknown, one thing is crystal clear: this girl landed on her feet. At around 6 months old, she is still a puppy with so much growing and learning ahead of her, and she is ready for a home that will love her through every moment of it. 💌 Why You'll Love Lucy Because she will greet you with a wiggle and a grin every single day. Because she'll make you laugh on your worst days. Because she gives the best kisses. And because a tiny, one-eyed, smiling little soul who chases bugs and howls at deer is exactly the kind of magic most people spend a lifetime looking for. 👉 If you are interested in adopting, please fill out application: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACPR/Dog🐾
