About Lucy

Meet Lucy, an almost one-year-old Australian Shepherd and Hound mix with Beagle characteristics who is eager to find her forever family. She’s petite for her mix, weighing 35 lbs, and has a delightful blend of sweet, playful puppy energy along with some great life skills that show she’s ready to be a wonderful companion.

She’s calm in the car, walks well on a leash, and does fine in a kennel. Her affectionate nature makes her a perfect fit for a family. Given her youthful energy, older kids would best complement her playful spirit. While Lucy has shown interest in neighborhood cats, she has never been aggressive towards them, so it’s important to introduce her to any resident cats carefully.
