About Lucie

Lucie, known lovingly as Lucille, is a 5-month-old Border Collie and Husky mix who already weighs about 25 pounds and will likely reach 60 to 70 pounds as an adult. She lives with a foster family that includes small kids, small dogs, large dogs, kittens, adult cats, and even a guinea pig—she gets along beautifully with everyone. Lucie’s house manners are impressive, and she’s quiet in her crate. With only one minor crate accident while her foster mom was away for a long stretch, she’s shown real progress in her training. Very affectionate and quick to pick up on things, she brings both warmth and wit to the household. Her black and white medium-length coat makes her stand out, and she’s both spayed and up to date on all vaccines. Lucie sounds like a great fit for a family seeking a friendly, social young dog ready to be a part of daily life. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
