About Lucy

Lucy (Lu Lu) is a delightful 6-year-old female Boston Terrier weighing in at 23 lbs, ready to find her forever home. This little love bug craves human companionship and thrives on cuddles, whether you're watching a movie or enjoying a quiet evening. She can happily coexist with calm children aged 6 and up, but she prefers to be the only pet in the household and needs a physically fenced yard to feel secure. Well aware that her humans have commitments, Lucy is crate trained and can comfortably spend up to 8 hours in her crate while you're away. At night, she sleeps in her crate but dreams of snuggling inside the bed with her family. Housebroken and rarely having accidents, she doesn't yet signal when it’s time to go outside, but regular outings every few hours keep her on track. Lucy isn't interested in toys but thrives on food and treat puzzles, showcasing her cleverness. She's also a calm traveler who enjoys car rides. However, Lucy requires an environment without other pets. She can be aggressive towards dogs and has a high prey drive, chasing after small animals like cats and squirrels. She can pull on a leash and has broken through electronic fences, so a rural setting would suit her best. This affectionate lady needs a home where she'll receive all the love and attention that she gives. Lucy is spayed and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $350. Ready to fall in love?
