About Lucy

Meet Lucy, a charming little Chiweenie who combines the best traits of her Chihuahua and Dachshund lineage. She's around 1 year old and weighs just 5 pounds. Lucy arrived at the rescue with her brother after being abandoned in a stroller, and while he faced some challenges, Lucy is proving to be a resilient and lovable pup. She warms up slowly but once comfortable, her playful and affectionate personality shines through. A household with another young dog would be ideal for Lucy. She's adaptable and has spent time in foster care, showing she's ready for a forever home. Lucy does not get along with children, so an adult-only environment would suit her best. She's spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, waiting for a kind owner who can provide a safe and secure place for her. She's house trained, making her a perfect companion to add joy to your life. Lucy is based in Santa Monica, CA, and requires an in-person meet and greet along with a home check. If you think you could give her the love she deserves, reach out! What are you waiting for?
