While petite in stature, Lucy’s BIG personality shines through in everything she does. She is vocal, adventurous, and always eager for her next great escapade! Lucy’s fairy-tale ending involves a home just right for her: she must be the only animal, as she isn’t suited to living with small kids, cats, or big dogs.
