About Lucy

Meet Lucy. Her journey started in a tough way: she and her sister Desi were left in a box on someone's doorstep at just three months old. Fortunately, they were rescued and now Lucy has a chance to find the loving home she truly deserves. Currently weighing about 10 pounds, this beautiful black-and-white mixed-breed pup isn’t just a pretty face. Although her breed and adult size are still a mystery, she’s expected to grow into a medium-sized dog. Lucy is eager to explore the world around her, and she needs a family ready to foster her curiosity with patience, consistency, training, socialization, and plenty of love. In return, you'll have the joy of watching her grow up knowing she is safe, wanted, and loved. Lucy has begun her puppy vaccinations, and the rescue is ensuring all her veterinary needs are met, including plans for her spay. Despite her rocky start, Lucy is destined to be someone's best friend and their favorite greeting at the end of a long day. Lucy is excited about the next chapter of her story, and she hopes it begins at the doorstep of her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
