Story
If you're looking to adopt a sensational senior, Lucy is your girl. She is an Australian Cattle Dog mix, born Dec 2015. She is a little timid at first, but will be your best pal once she get to know you. She is seriously the ideal dog! She needs a home with a fenced yard and she is usually good with other dogs (we would do a dog intro to make sure she got along with any in your house). She might prefer to be the only dog in the house, it really depends on the dogs. She does fine with dogs that don't get in her face. She gets a little nervous and when they get right in her face. She's met lots of other dogs she's been fine with.
Here are a few more fun facts:
*Good with kids *House trained
*Low energy *Quiet/doesn't bark much (inside or outside)
*Walks well on a leash
*Curious about cats and gets along with them
*Trained to stay off furniture *No counter surfing for food
*Leaves the trash alone and doesn't chew on anything that is out around the house
*She is not kenneled during the day because she's very well behaved, but she is also fine in a kennel.
*She only barks if someone rings the doorbell, knocks, or if a visitor leaves. If someone just walks in the house, she doesn't bark. She doesn't even bark at the neighbors or their dogs when she's outside.
*She has 2 medications she takes in the evening for incontinence. As long as she has them, she doesn't have accidents. She's very good at letting her foster mom know when she needs to go outside. The medication isn't too expensive.
*She needs to be on Purina ProPlan urinary food. She goes through about a bag and a half during a month. This food helps reduce the chance of stones forming in her bladder/kidney.
*Lucy likes to follow her foster mom around the house to see what she's doing, but if it's not exciting to her, she will go back to her bed and lay down. If you're looking for a well-behaved senior girl that you don't have to train, Lucy might just be for you.
The suggested adoption donation for Lucy is $275. Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal Healthcare totaling over $399,000 covered mainly through adoption fees.
Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the animal’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver.
Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal’s needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
