About Lucy

Lucy is a spirited 6-year-old spayed female Shiba mix, often sporting her golden coat with one bright eye and another that’s cloudy. She’s been through a lot but handles herself with grace, especially when she's with her best friend, Cooper. These two come as a bonded pair and would thrive in a loving forever home together. Cooper, the energetic black and tan shepherd mix, is 5 years old and has a friendly disposition that lights up a room. He and Lucy love people and have experienced loss, making their desire for companionship even stronger. Their bond is clear—they enjoy playing fetch as a team, with Lucy often cheekily stealing the toy from Cooper before bringing it back. Both dogs are house-trained and exhibit good behavior around children. Lucy gets along well with cats too. They are not diggers nor fence climbers, showing a preference for playing in a secure backyard. With property protection instincts, they both have healthy barks but calm down quickly with familiar faces. Currently living in Dan’s home, they are facing uncertainty as family prepares it for sale. Your support in welcoming these two loving companions could change their lives. Ready to give them the home they have been waiting for?
