About Lucy

Lucy is a gentle 7- to 8-year-old female dog, previously at risk of euthanasia. Thanks to quick action from Grateful Dogs Rescue, she now has a second chance at a loving home. Weighing around 12 lbs, Lucy thrives in calm settings and would do best in a household without small children, though she warms up well to older, respectful kids. Her favorite activities include soaking up the sun in the garden and lounging on soft sofas. Based on her previous experience, Lucy is reliably potty trained, navigates a doggy door, and might even use a potty pad at night if needed. She enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks and exhibits a quiet confidence when meeting new people. While she may seem a bit aloof at first, a little gentle affection helps her open up quickly. Plus, she’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, freshly cleared for adoption after a wellness exam and a significant dental procedure. Lucy is ready to be part of a calm, loving family. She doesn’t require a large yard, just some sunny spots to enjoy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
