About Lucy in Texarkana TX

Lucy is a sweet female long-haired Chihuahua mix, around 7-8 years old and weighing about 13 pounds. This spayed girl is not just vaccinated; she’s heartworm negative and recently had her teeth cleaned, ready for her new home. Though she might be a little shy for the first few moments with new people, a little love goes a long way—she quickly warms up and becomes a loyal companion. Lucy gets along with other dogs, although she takes her time getting acquainted before playtime begins. She enjoys being picked up and cuddled, and walks on a leash beautifully without pulling. Lucy would make an ideal companion, especially for an elderly person. She adeptly stays out of the way and responds well to calls. While she’s lived with adults her whole life and might be unsure about the bustle of a home with young children, she should be just fine as a visitor. Ready to find her next adventure, Lucy is a loving sidekick waiting for the perfect home. Her adoption fee is $300. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
