Lucy Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin
Lucy is currently with our rescue partners in Arkansas and is available for foster or adoption for
our transport on 2/14/26 to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. She must have a foster or
adopter committed in order to secure her spot on the transport.
Meet Lucy
Lucy’s story is one of second chances. She came from the Arkansas kill shelter system and
was fortunate enough to make it out and into a foster home, where she’s been showing
everyone just how much potential she has.
Lucy is an 8-month-old, medium-energy pup weighing around 35–40 lbs, and we suspect she
may have some cattle dog traits. She is smart, alert, and eager to learn. Lucy does well with
other dogs and enjoys being part of a pack. She rides exceptionally well in the car and travels
calmly in her crate, even on longer trips like rides to the lake.
She is crate trained and currently working on all the basics, including potty training, leash skills,
and household manners. Lucy knows her commands and listens especially well with confident,
consistent leadership. With continued structure and positive reinforcement, she will thrive.
Lucy would do best in a home that enjoys engaging with their dog, continuing her training, and
helping her grow into the confident, well-rounded companion she is meant to be.
Age: 8 months

Weight: 35–40 lbs
Breed: Cattle Dog Mix

Lucy has already overcome so much and is ready for a fresh start. A foster or adopter will give
her the chance to make the 2/14/26 transport and begin the life she deserves.

2.)Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.)Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: after approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5 day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure its the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
