🌟 Meet Lucy – a gentle 9-year-old Basset Hound–Terrier mix who is a hidden gem waiting for her forever home! This lovely lady has journeyed through a storm, arriving at Rainbow Bridge Hospice Rescue after her previous owner entered hospice care. 😢 Can you believe that Lucy and her brother Ricky spent their entire lives in an environment where they faced abuse? They were surrendered without a second thought as no family member was willing to provide them a loving home. It’s enough to break anyone's heart. 💔 Now at Rainbow Bridge, Lucy is on a path of healing, discovering that gentle hands and kind voices truly exist. 🌈 Despite her past, Lucy is learning every day that she deserves love and compassion. She may be shy and timid, flinching when a hand approaches, but don’t let that fool you! This darling girl has a heart of gold, just waiting for a loving soul to bring her out of her shell. 🥰 With a love for lounging in soft blankets and a calm demeanor, she enjoys quietly following her foster mom around. Separating her past from her future takes time, and with patience and love, Lucy’s sweet personality is beginning to bloom. 🌼 Although she’s mostly potty trained, there are occasional accidents as she adjusts to her new world. So, if you’re ready to give Lucy a loving home filled with kindness and warmth, be sure to apply through the Buddy App! Let’s make her dream of a forever loving home come true! 🏡💖
