Meet Lucy — Smart, Loyal, and Ready for Her Person Lucy was picked up by local animal control after being dumped on a rural road, so her past is a mystery — but her future is bright. This beautiful 45lb German Shepherd/Malinois/Cattle Dog mix is approximately 1 year old, fully vetted, and already showing just how intelligent and loving she can be. Lucy is good with people and bonds quickly to her person especially men.
