About Lucinda

Lucinda is hard to miss with her infectious grin and boundless enthusiasm. This 4.5-year-old boxer/hound mix, affectionately known as Lu, is all about people—kids included—and she pours her goofy energy into every interaction. At 45 lbs, she stays in that sweet, medium zone that’s easy to fit into everyday life. Lucinda has spent most of her life in rescue or with a family, and after being returned through no fault of her own, she’s ready for something permanent. She thrives around active dog friends when introduced slowly and shines brightest in a home where adventures happen regularly—think hiking trips and plenty of playtime. She’s soft for belly rubs and down for anything with her favorite people. Lucinda knows her basics, is house trained, crate trained, and picks up on new things quickly. She’s healthy, eager to be part of a committed family, and is waiting for that second chance to belong. Give her a forever home filled with love and you’ll see just how good life with Lucinda can be.
