Lucy is a cheerful 5-year-old black Lab mix in Clinton, ME, who’s at her best after a lap around the yard or a good walk under the sky. She’s social, playful, and will seek out your company, happiest when she isn’t missing out on the action. After stretching her legs, you’ll find her vying for space on the couch—she’s all for cuddle time and isn’t shy about showing affection with a face lick if you’re lucky. Lucy arrived in rough shape, but she’s resilient and now thriving. She had major health hurdles—coming in underweight and battling a urinary tract infection with bladder stones, which required surgery and some TLC. Now, she’s healthy but needs a special urinary care diet and free access to clean water to stay on track. Nailing food puzzles is her new favorite mealtime activity—she’s smart and food motivated, a quick learner. Because of her past, Lucy tends to guard her food from other animals and adopters should feed her separately. She brings energy and love, but will benefit from someone who can provide boundaries, patience, and play. Leos born in August like Lucy often bring bold personalities and loyalty to the table—she’s no exception. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
