About Luci

Luci is a remarkable 2-year-old mixed breed female with a beautiful brown coat. She is quite shy and prefers the company of her fellow dogs. Having been adopted with her canine companion, Star, she'll thrive best in a calm, quiet environment, ideally with older, understanding children or adults who can respect her need for space. Luci is spayed and house trained, although her journey has been challenging since her adoption from Puerto Rico. Despite her significant fear of people, she has bonded well with Star and has shown she's capable of forming strong connections with other dogs. Ideally, her new home should have another confident canine companion to help her adjust to life. Luci’s perfect home would be one where her new family understands that trust takes time and patience. She communicates her discomfort clearly and prefers to retreat rather than approach when unsure. Therefore, a securely fenced yard would be beneficial, given her current discomfort with leashes. With love and gentle encouragement, Luci might just unlock her true potential. Luci’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of connection. Could you be the patient partner she needs?
