About Lucy Dezi

Meet Lucy, an adorable Maltese who, alongside her friends Dezi and Vivian, was abandoned at a daycare facility. At around 10 years old, all three received clean bills of health, vaccinations, and dental work, making them ready for a new home. Lucy and her companions are tightly bonded; separate them, and you'll hear their heartfelt protests. They are looking for a loving home where they can stay together. While this is an ambitious request, the joy and energy they bring are worth every effort. Expect plenty of fun and snuggles from these three tiny but mighty pups! Due to their age, Lucy will not be spayed at this time. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
