About Lucy

Lucy is a loving companion who recently came to the shelter because her owner could no longer keep her. At 9 years and 9 months old, this small, female mixed-breed dog is full of warmth and charm, featuring a beautiful coat in shades of red, chestnut, and tan. While Lucy might have some training from her previous home, she will need some time to settle in and adjust to a new environment. Her interaction with other animals is still pending, and our dedicated staff will be working closely with her to learn more about her personality. If you're considering adding Lucy to your family, please fill out an adoption questionnaire. Adoption is a first-come, best-match process, and it's crucial for all family members—including children and any existing pets—to meet her to ensure everyone gets along. If you're a good match, you might even be able to adopt her the same day! Lucy would love a home where she can feel safe and cherished. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
