Lucy is a 5-6yr old female Dachshund mix, weighing 18 lbs. Lucy came from a hoarding situation, and came to us with no manners. She has come a LONG way in the time she has been with us. It is fun to watch her learn, and she is so open to it. She is learning what is acceptable and what is not. She is very responsive when I give a specific sound, letting her know when she is doing something not approved., and will stop, turn and walk away. She is coming along nicely with her potty training, she runs to the door when she needs to go potty, and almost always potties in the same spot outside. She is doing amazing at that, especially since she was never let outside before. She likes to lay on the back patio a lot, sunning herself, and will come to the door when she is ready to come inside. She does have a medical issue. She has a history of seizures. I, as her foster mom, have only witnessed one so far., since I got her in August. The vet put her on a new, inexpensive med and she has not had another seizure since. She is more alert, and easier to train since we changed meds. Lucy is one of the sweetest girls you will meet, and she loves meeting people.. She will follow me around the house, so curious about everything. I don't think she ever had toys to play with, but she has learned what the toy basket is (every time she would get something not approved, I.would take it and give her a toy from the basket). She is learning pretty quickly and definitely wants to please. Lucy is a cuddle bug, and will sleep in a dog bed on the floor, or next to me in bed. And she likes to be on the sofa next to you with her head on your leg or lap. Lucy would be a great addition to a family. She gets along with other dogs, although she prefers the company and attention of humans. She did ok with a friends cat, although we think she had never seen one before so was very interested. But we think once she got used to one, she would be fine. She is pretty quiet, doesn't bark much and is very food motivated. So, training her would be pretty easy. Come meet Lucy!
