This young Boxer is a devout fan of all things snuggling and close contact. Whether you’re sitting or standing, expect Lucy to be right there, ready to shower you with love. New faces, especially some men, might get a brief period of watchful consideration before joining Lucy’s circle, but once you’re in, you’re family. Lucy is crate and leash trained, though walks tend to feature a bit of a dance as she refines her leash skills—progress is being made, and each stroll has its memorable moments. The dog door, however, was mastered almost instantly and remains a point of pride. She’s no stranger to adventure, joining for trips to places like Home Depot and PetSmart, learning that there’s lots more to public outings than just sniffing everything possible. Lucy's hobbies include dedicated napping (with a legendary snore that her foster calls a 'natural phenomenon'), giving emotional support, and always keeping close to her people. She shines with kids and gets along well with other dogs, making her a wonderful family companion. What Lucy needs is patience, some steady guidance, and an adopter who values her deep loyalty and unwavering affection. She’s currently being fostered in McMinnville, OR. Ready to fall in love?
