About Lucy

ADOPT LUCY! Meet Lucy, a delightful 1-2 year old, 13-pound Terrier mix basking in the joy of newfound freedom. Having recently finished raising a brood of six puppies, she’s excited to step into a life that's all about her. Lucy shows her quirky personality with an independent spirit and a true affection for her humans. Loud, chaotic environments aren't her style; instead, she thrives in calm, predictable settings. House trained and comfortable with a routine, Lucy enjoys her home life where she can curl up on the couch and soak up all the cuddles. While she enjoys other dogs, she prefers a laid-back canine companion who respects her space rather than an energetic playmate. She is good with children but can get a bit mouthy when the excitement builds, so an adult-only home or one with older kids would suit her best. One of Lucy’s favorite activities is grooming. She adores being brushed, seeing it as a special bonding moment with her people. Lucy is ready to experience love and companionship like never before. If you’re seeking a loyal cuddle buddy and a wonderfully unique friend, Lucy may just be the perfect addition to your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
