About Lucy Lou

Lucy Lou is one of the last two Border Collie mix sisters still searching for a devoted family in Billings, MT. She’s sharp and clever—quick to catch on to new things. Lucy Lou would happily snuggle up with you for hours but is just as eager to play, especially if she gets the chance to sneak outside with the neighbor’s dog. She’s still building her confidence with dogs outside her own home, so she’ll need slow introductions to new canine buddies. Once settled, she’s likely to turn those neighbors into her next playmates. Lucy Lou is comfortable around children and cats, making her a great fit for a lively home environment. At about 6 to 7 months old, she’s already spayed, current on her vaccinations, and microchipped. She’s medium-sized, with a short black and white coat, and is house trained. Lucy Lou—and her sister Sally—are looking for people who appreciate their energetic and affectionate personalities. Your home could be the happy ending these girls deserve.
