About Lucy

Lucy, a young Husky and German Shorthaired Pointer mix, is about a year old and brings all the energy you’d expect from her breeds. She’s medium-sized with a short coat and is both crate trained and house trained. Lucy has lived peacefully with dogs, cats, and children. Her playful side comes out when she hasn’t had a good outlet for her energy, so daily walks and playtime are a must in her new home. She’ll need a semi-active adopter who can give her structure and consistency. Lucy is a bit of a fence climber and digger, so if you have a yard, nothing shorter than a 6-foot privacy fence will do. Don’t worry—her antics are manageable with routine walks and supervision. She’s spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. Lucy’s just looking for someone to meet her halfway and appreciate her energetic spirit. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
