About Lucy

Lucy is a striking Boxer mix with a black and white short coat and a bold black patch circling her left eye, giving her a look all her own. Though not large at around 47 lbs, she’s surprisingly strong when out on walks and has plenty of energy. Her outgoing nature comes through right away—she’s always up for a round of photos or a new adventure with the kennel staff. Lucy was found stray with her brother and waited in hopes of being reclaimed, but she’s now ready to find her own family. She’s already spayed and up to date on rabies vaccinations, so she’s all set to start her next chapter. While Lucy is house trained, she can be selective with other dogs and does not get along with cats, so she will need a cat-free home. With her big personality and expressive face, she’s hard to forget. Being an Aries (with a March birthday), she brings plenty of bold, playful energy to everyday life. What are you waiting for?
