About Lucy

Lovely Lucy is as sweet as they come. She may be a bit shy at first, but behind those bright blue eyes is an affectionate, playful girl eager to bond with a patient owner. We believe Lucy is an Australian Shepherd mix with a stunning copper coat. She adores toys and keeps her favorites close, showing signs of growth as she learns from her foster brother that life can bring joy. At 1.5 years old and around 55 lbs, Lucy is crate trained, and having her own space helps her feel secure. She walks nicely on a leash in quieter areas and is doing well with housetraining when kept on a consistent schedule. Lucy thrives in a calm home where her trust can be built gradually, and in return, you’ll witness her transformation into a loyal companion. Lucy is currently in a foster home in Longmont, Colorado. Please note that all adopters must come to Colorado to adopt, as we do not transport dogs. Start your journey together! Apply now.
