At 10–11 years old, this Shepherd/Retriever mix has the perfect balance of calm maturity and happy enthusiasm for life.

Why You’ll Love Lucy: People-Lover: Lucy is great with strangers, kids, and other dogs. She greets the world with a wagging tail and kind eyes. (Cats, however, are not her thing.) Household Pro: Fully housetrained and comfortable in her crate, Lucy has excellent home manners. She’s perfectly fine being left alone and settles in calmly. Adventure-Ready: Lucy rides nicely in the car and walks beautifully on a leash. Whether it’s a stroll around the neighborhood or a quick trip to the store, she is happy to tag along. Well-Trained Lady: Lucy knows her commands: sit, lay down, heel, and no. She listens well and takes direction kindly, even if she sometimes asks for a little extra love first. Quiet & Easygoing: Not a barker and fine with a short fence, Lucy is an easy addition to almost any home environment. Lucy absolutely adores attention, belly rubs, walks, and treats. She can be a little needy for affection (but in the sweetest way and she respects boundaries when told “no.” She just loves being near her people.
