About Lucy

Meet Lucy! This charming 5-year-old Red Heeler mix weighs in at a petite 26 pounds. Although she may initially be shy when meeting new people and pets, her loving personality shines through with a little time and patience. In her foster home, she’s already started playing with other dogs, showing her potential to thrive in a supportive environment. Lucy expresses her affection through delightful kisses and warm hugs. While she enjoys playtime, she’s best suited for a family that understands her need for space and approaches her with gentleness. A home without small children or overly energetic dogs would create the safest atmosphere for her. Respected companions who allow her to warm up at her own pace would be ideal. With plenty of love and understanding, Lucy has so much to give. Could you provide the safe and loving home she's been waiting for? Lucy is looking for her forever family at Charlyne’s Pound Puppies in Thorndale, TX. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
