Lucy is a timid dog in urgent need of a loving home. At nearly 2 years old, this Blue Heeler is looking for a patient adopter who can help her thrive. She's been at the Kern County Animal Services shelter since July 31, 2026, and is ready to leave the stressful kennel environment behind. Living with more than 300 dogs in confined conditions, she faces significant risks if a suitable home isn't found soon. Lucy’s colors include shades of gray, blue, silver, and touches of apricot. Her short coat is easy to care for, and she is both spayed and vaccinated. While Lucy may be shy at first, she has the potential to blossom in a nurturing environment. If you're looking for a loyal companion who requires a gentle touch, Lucy could be the perfect fit for your home. Since she’s labeled as urgent, contacting the Companion Animal Protection Society for adoption, fostering or rescue is highly encouraged. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
