About Lucy

Meet Lucy, a lovely German Shepherd mix in need of a caring home. With her tall, alert ears and warm amber eyes, she has a striking appearance. Her thick, silvery coat is making a comeback, thanks to the dedicated volunteers who have helped her along the way. At seven years old and weighing 70 pounds, Lucy has plenty of energy and a sunny spirit that shines through her big, goofy grin. Lucy came to Cobb Animal Services after her previous owners could no longer care for her. While she's currently heartworm positive, the shelter is ready to cover her treatment if you adopt her in Georgia. This means you can give her a new beginning and be part of her recovery. An active companion, Lucy loves to play tug of war and enjoys her walks, although she can be a bit strong on the leash due to her excitement. With some training, she’ll settle into being a well-mannered friend. While Lucy cannot be spayed at the shelter due to her age, spaying isn’t required for adoption. Come visit her in kennel 29; she has been waiting too long for a forever home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
