Short version: Devoted, Hosetrained, cratetrained, must be only dog in the home, good with kids over 12, working family friendly, respectful apartment/condo resident
Looking for a snuggle buddy? Want a partner for long walks and adventures? Got no other pets in the home? Then Lucy, also affectionately known as Lucy Goosey, Lula and Lulupalooza, just may be the Christmas present you’ve been looking for.
Lucy landed in our arms after she had multiple fights in her home over food, especially human. The took great care of her, loved her dearly and did everything possible to make it work, but for everyones safety, they realized she needs a new home. So now we are looking for a home for Lucy where she can be an only pet. She has no issues with food with adults and teenages, but since she did growl once at a younger kid over a granola bar, we are looking for a family with no kids under 12.
This confident gal adapts very easy – she walked in her foster home and immediately jumped on the couch. She is housetrained – not a single acccident and is a very respectful condo residents so apartments and shared walls are find for this pup. Lucy is friendly with new people and loves to give kidsses, but not so many you are covered in slober. And within 3 minutes of meeting you, she will likely be on her back, begging not so subtly for belly rubs.
After belly rubs, this girls favorite thing in the world is going for walks. She loves to be outside and would be a fabulous BFF for an active famly. She is friendly with new people and does great in the car.
Lucy wants to be with her people and loves to snuggle. But her foster mom says she’s not quite velcro – more like double sided tape. At night she happily sleeps in her dog bed on the floor, but don’t be suprrised if you wake up to Lucy giving you kisses once you start stirring in the morning. And when you come home, Lucy will give you the best welcome – waiting at the door with her tail wagging a mile a minute.
Lucy is UTD on shots, heartworm negative, spayed, microchipped and had a dental. Her new family will need to drive to the Raleigh area to adopt her – no transports. We prefer homes located in NC, VA, SC, eastern TN, WV, northern VA and the DC area.

If you’re dreaming of a cozy Christmas filled with walks in the crisp air, couch snuggles by the tree, and a loyal little shadow to share it all with, Lucy may be the perfect gift waiting to be unwrapped. This sweet girl is ready to start her next chapter and make your holidays — and every season after — a little warmer, brighter, and full of love
