About Luci

Meet Luci, a charming 11-year-old Shih Tzu mix who adores both adventure and relaxation. She's great for individuals or families who enjoy outdoor activities, whether it’s jogging or a simple stroll in the park. Luci thrives on companionship, having come from a background where she spent significant time alone, and now she longs for affection. Her ideal home will be quiet and include someone who’s often around, as she struggles with separation anxiety and tends to be vocal when left alone. As an only dog, she seeks all the attention and can sometimes show jealousy, especially when not having her foster mom's focus. Luci is quite playful and agile, relishing her squeaky toys and turning your home into her playground by tucking under bedding and pillows. She’s a true companion who follows her foster mom everywhere, be it during work hours or while relaxing at home. Luci is house-trained and does well with periodic outdoor access, but due to her age, overnight accidents can occur. While she’s currently short-haired after being groomed to remove mats, her lovely black-and-white coat still glows. If you’re an active, loving household looking for a cuddly addition, Luci could be the perfect match. Please consider her with all the listed requirements for an ideal adoption.
