About Lucy

Lucy is a gentle and affectionate senior dog who came to us alongside her mother, Maggie. They were previously unhoused with their human and have adjusted to some significant changes in their lives. While both are still settling into their new surroundings, Lucy displays a loving disposition, though she may be a bit shy at first. As she follows Maggie's lead, she gradually warms up to attention. You might find her leaning into your touch, revealing a heart full of love beneath her timid exterior. Playing and exploring have helped bring out her playful spirit, with moments of wrestling and running in the dog park already spotted. Lucy gets along well with both dogs and cats, showcasing her adaptable nature. With time and patience, we believe this sweet girl will continue to blossom into the cuddly companion she's meant to be. Lucy is currently located in Petaluma, CA. You won’t regret adding her to your family!
