About Lucille

Lucille is looking for a calm, retired adopter who enjoys relaxed days at home. At 7 years old and about 19 lbs, she’s a bubbly Chihuahua/Beagle mix who loves soft beds, easy strolls, car rides, and especially a good lap to curl up on. Lucille doesn’t need a big yard and is content as the center of attention—she will let you know when it’s time to head outside. Little kids aren’t her style and she prefers not to be around larger dogs or cats, so a quiet home is ideal. She’s housebroken and skips the crate with no trouble. Her recent dental means her adorable tooth sticks out even more, but it doesn’t slow her down at treat time. Lucille’s sun sign is Libra, which means she’s happiest in a peaceful, balanced environment. Ready to share your days with an affectionate companion who’ll make you smile? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
