About Lucy

Meet Lucy! This 9-year-old tri-color Basset Hound is ready for a fresh start after losing her owner. Lucy was a loyal companion, and after her owner's passing, Suncoast Basset Rescue stepped in to help her find the loving home she truly deserves. Lucy is accustomed to living with both dogs and cats, making her a suitable addition to a multi-pet household. She previously enjoyed a fenced yard, which will be essential in her new home since she has never learned to walk on a leash and can be nonchalant about it. Patience will be needed as she adjusts to leash training, but a secure outdoor space is crucial for her comfort. This mellow girl is crate trained and finds reassurance in her crate. Lucy thrives in calm environments and will benefit from a quiet, understanding home. If you're looking to provide a gentle soul with the stability she's been missing, Lucy could be your perfect match. Ready to make this sweet girl part of your family?
