About Lucie

Lucie’s early days were rough: she was left behind at a motel during a thunderstorm, but she’s moved forward with surprising resilience. Now safe in Newnan, GA, Lucie is a Husky/Belgian Shepherd mix with a strong drive for movement and a sharp, focused mind. She loves walks and lights up when her day has routine and purpose. Around dogs who are steady and calm, she does well; Timmy, one of her current companions, especially gets along with her. Given her working breed nature, Lucie will only thrive in a home with a fenced yard, and apartment living just won’t suit her. She needs an adopter with experience, someone familiar with shepherds or huskies, who can offer both structure and enrichment. If you’re ready to invest in her and show her what belonging feels like, Lucie will return that devotion tenfold. She’s vaccinated, spayed, house trained, and ready to give her loyalty to the right person. Born under the sign of Leo, Lucie has a bit of that lion-hearted courage in her spirit.
