About Lucy

Meet Lucy, an adorable 9-month-old Beagle mix weighing about 20 pounds. She's had a tough start but never lost her ability to love. Lucy was born into a hoarding situation and afterward faced the noise of a shelter, which left her timid and unsure. However, she's thriving now at Starfish Animal Rescue, where she's learning to trust and embrace new experiences. This sweet girl truly comes alive when she’s around friendly dogs, making it essential for her forever family to have a canine companion. Lucy loves playing outside, but she also enjoys curling up on the couch for cozy naps and getting all the affection she can. Her dream home includes a fenced yard for safe play, at least one other friendly dog, and no children under 10, as younger kids might inadvertently scare her. A patient and understanding family will help Lucy continue to gain confidence and show her true self. Every day she gains a bit more confidence and deserves a supportive family who can show her unconditional love. Lucy has waited long enough; could you be the one to give her the life she deserves? The adoption fee of $400 covers her spay, microchip, vaccinations, heartworm treatment, and any necessary medical care. Start your journey together! Apply now.
