About Lucy Lulu Local

Meet Lucy Lulu, a charming Mountain Cur and Pointer mix who’s around 1 year and 7 months old. Weighing in at 55 pounds, Lucy is ready for a quieter forever home where she can truly shine. Having been found as a stray in Tennessee, she has journeyed to New England looking for a safe space to build her confidence and showcase her affectionate personality. Lucy forms strong bonds with her trusted humans and is playful, always eager for praise and treats. However, her past exposure to a busy environment with young children left her feeling overwhelmed. Lucy is sensitive and requires a calm, predictable routine with experienced adults who understand canine body language and resource guarding behaviors. While she can be reactive towards unfamiliar dogs on leash, she thrives in doggy daycare with familiar friends and may enjoy living with another calm dog after careful introductions. It’s important for Lucy’s new family to respect her need for personal space and to approach her with patience. With the right guidance and a supportive environment, this smart girl has so much love to offer. She’s ready to embrace a new beginning where her intelligence and affection can truly flourish.
