Story
Hello, my name is Lucy. I'd really like to find my forever home. I hope that is you. A little about me, I'm about a year old. I'm a mix of a little bit of this and a little bit of that, maybe even Husky; I certainly talk like one, but I don't seem to shed like one. So, you get the good without the bad.
I will sit and cuddle, but it takes a bit of time for me to calm down after outside time. Outside, I prefer a fenced yard over a lead, but it is not required. I'll chase a ball or a stick, but I'm a bit reluctant to give it back. I do prefer we get to know each other before you put your hands in my mouth to take things from me, or into my food dish, but I warm to the idea once we take that time together; My foster can put their hands in my food while I eat, but I do try to push them away with the side of my head (because it's mine and he can get his own :P). I don't growl or show aggression, so that's progress from when I went into rescue as a pup.
I haven't been diagnosed, but I might have a bit of separation anxiety cause when my foster is gone, I created art out of the couch cushions, which he didn't appreciate. So a puppy gate to cordon off couches would be a good idea, currently, my foster keeps me in the kitchen when he leaves, because crates scare me. I am willing to work on it, but I'm not a fan.
I get along with other dogs, but the bigger the better so we can play, but I won't hurt a small dog. Currently, the little dog in the house with me needs a break from my antics from time to time. The Lab in my house is much older and has explained to me that not everything I do is acceptable in the dog world, and the learning curve hasn't been so bad. I just met cats recently and I find them interesting, but I still need time to figure out what I think.
Human kids are ok, but I can be slightly overwhelming at the start with new people, so don't judge me to harshly on my initial excitement. I'm young, and I have a lot to learn yet. I just need some time and patience from you.
