Anatolian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Keene, New Hampshire

-

There’s something undeniably special about Lucy Lou the kind of soft, quiet magic you don’t fully notice until you feel it. She doesn’t burst into the room asking for attention. Instead, she gently makes her way into your heart before you even realize what’s happened. It’s in the sweetness of her eyes, the softness in the way she carries herself, and the steady calm she brings with her wherever she goes. Lucy doesn’t need to be loud to be seen; her presence speaks for itself. She loves gently, moves thoughtfully, and offers affection in the most tender, unassuming way. Like little moments meant just for you. Watch her video and call in love with her sweet soul: Lucy Lou is believed to be Anatolian/Lab mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 61 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. When you first meet Lucy, you’ll instantly realize she has a sensitive, tender little soul that makes you want to just scoop her up and shower her with all the love in the world. She is a little shy at first when you first meet her and when she is in new environments, but after her initial shyness has passed, Lucy is all about showering you with love and snuggles. If you let her, she could probably lay in your lap, act like your own personal weighted blanket, and stay in that position long enough, we can guarantee the two of you will find yourselves dozing off for an afternoon nap. She really is a total cuddle bug and actually appreciates when you wrap her up in a little blanket burrito, getting her all tucked in for snuggles. Lucy is dog friendly and has done great meeting all of the dogs we have introduced her to, and is currently fostered in a multi dog home. Her shy, gentle personality also shows itself when meeting new dogs and she will do best with a doggy friend that will allow her to get the lay of the land and feel comfortable first. Once she’s adjusted in her new home, the rest is history!! You’ll find your resident dog and Lucy sunbathing together, snuggling up together for a nap, wrestling in the backyard, sharing toys, and doing everything together. All she needs is a little time to trust and she’s golden! Her foster dad has even said that one of his favorite things about Lucy is how great she is with all of his dogs and he loves watching them play and enjoying each other’s company. In a home, we believe Lucy would be happiest with another doggie friend in the home. Lucy also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. She did not chase Biggie, nor was she bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around her as well. We do not know if Lucy has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing her with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Lucy is a gentle lady who has spent time around younger children, even as young as 7 years old, and does just fine with them. While she’s good-natured and tolerant of the occasional squeal or quick movements from younger children, she tends to be happiest around older kids. Older children, around 7 and up, are more in tune with her boundaries; they’ll understand that she is a shy girl, when she needs space, and can respect her need for a little calm time. Lucy would be great in a home with 1–2 kids, and if you have grandchildren or friends who have younger kids that come to visit on occasion, Lucy will be completely okay with that too because it’s not an everyday thing. Lucy would thrive in a home that enjoys the simple moments in life, isn’t overly concerned with being the party house in the neighborhood, and is looking for a loving companion to take on leisurely walks around the neighborhood and snuggle with at night. If you’re someone who works from home, Lucy will be perfectly content settling on the floor next to your feet, keeping quiet, never getting into things she shouldn’t, and occasionally looking up at you or resting her head on your leg, nuzzling you for affection. Almost as if she knew you needed a five-minute breather from your computer. She has a well-balanced energy and can match the energy of the room. We can also picture Lucy enjoying porch sitting as a hobby too. She could sit next to you and watch the world pass by all day. Bonus points if squirrels like to make their presence known because she loves to watch squirrels and also chase them too. She can’t resist a little squirrely chase every now and then. Lucy would do great in either a home with a backyard. Lucy is crate trained, potty trained, and has wonderful house manners. Her foster mom raved about how incredible her house manners have been and that she hasn’t had one accident! How impressive is that?! Truly, she’s a 10/10 and so deserving of a loving home. We are willing to test Lucy Lou with anything you need to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
