About Lucy

Meet Lucy, a sweet and affectionate girl who believes there’s no such thing as too much love or too many cuddles! This black and tan Doberman is happiest when she’s near her people and would thrive in a home where companionship is abundant. Lucy has been on quite the adventure, recovering from bilateral calcaneal tears in both legs. After surgery and lots of care, she is nearly fully healed and ready to explore again with her braces. Despite enjoying her midday naps, Lucy is reigniting her playful spirit, and her zoomies are making a joyful comeback. She needs a quieter home with a stable routine, ideally with older children experienced with dogs. A securely fenced yard is essential for her outdoor time, allowing her to enjoy herself safely. Her new family must be committed to her ongoing needs, ensuring her braces stay on and following her recovery guidance. Lucy is a resilient and loving dog who’s ready to fill your home with cuddles and companionship. Could she be your new best friend? She’s currently fostered in Silver Spring, MD.
