About Lucy

Meet Lucy! This delightful young Basset Hound has a tricolor coat of brown, black, and white. She previously had a habit of wandering off her owner's unfenced property, which led her to SBR for a better situation. Lucy is friendly and gentle, getting along well with both dogs and children. While she is still mastering her potty-training skills, she's smart and eager to learn, so she'll catch on in no time! We’re excited to see her thrive in her foster home. Help us give Lucy the happy ending she deserves.
