About Lucy

Meet Lucy, a spirited 2-year-old spayed Pit Bull mix from Albuquerque, NM. Although she's part of the shelter's Shy Dog Program, don't let that label deceive you; Lucy’s got a vibrant energy just waiting to burst forth. She arrived with her buddy Paul, but her lively personality may be a bit overwhelming for his quieter nature. On walks, Lucy can initially appear hesitant, needing a light nudge of encouragement to get started. But once she finds her rhythm, she walks pretty well on the leash, kind of like a friend who needs a quick pep talk before hitting the party. When she feels secure, Lucy turns into a total goofball, relishing attention, pets, and especially butt scratches—her true love language! After chasing a ball, she celebrates with joyous zoomies, as if she's just won the Olympics. Lucy is friendly and playful, steadily gaining confidence each day. A training class would do wonders for her as she continues to blossom into her best self. Ready to meet this charming girl? Hit apply to start the journey with Lucy today!
