Oh, let me introduce you to Lucy, affectionately known as Girlfriend! 🌟 This lovely 7-year-old female Lhasa Apso is not just a dog; she’s a miracle wrapped in fur! Having bravely survived the harsh realities of a puppy mill, Lucy has journeyed through fire and emerged with scars that tell tales of resilience and hope. She was rescued nearly three years ago, pregnant with her last litter, and now that her babies are off living their best lives, it’s finally Lucy’s turn to shine! 🌈 But remember, healing isn’t a race; it’s an art. 🎨 After all those years spent confined, deprived of the warmth of human affection, it’s time for Lucy to experience the love she so richly deserves. She has made incredible progress but still has miles to go on her road to trust. ❤️ Right now, she finds comfort in her foster mom’s presence, following her around like a shadow but always maintaining just a bit of distance—because trust takes time, and that’s absolutely okay! You’ll find her bonding beautifully with her foster dog siblings, snuggling and napping together, and even trying to instigate playtime—that is a heartwarming sight! But, when it comes to humans, she's still learning to trust. She will cautiously approach for a sniff, maybe nibble on a treat—if it’s tasty enough and you’ve earned her trust. But don’t you worry! With patience and love, Lucy will thrive. 🌱 Now, isn’t this the time of year for giving? Imagine how magical it would be for Lucy to have a forever home for Christmas! 🎄 She needs a patient soul who understands that every step in her journey is monumental. If there’s already a friendly dog in the home, that would be like the icing on the cake! 🍰 They could share cuddles, and Lucy could blossom into the trusting companion you’ve always dreamed of. Lucy is microchipped, house-trained, and up to date on her vaccinations. She has so much potential to be a loving pet, even on her unique path of growth. 🥰 Are you ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl?
