About Lucy

Lucy is a sweet 11-year-old shepherd mix who weighs 70 pounds. She was surrendered by her original owner in July due to difficult life circumstances. Despite her age, Lucy has a playful and gentle spirit, and she acts much younger than her years. She enjoys going for walks, doing so with a loose leash, and she loves car rides. This friendly girl is house-broken, allowing her to roam freely during the day without getting into trouble; typically, she spends her time resting or lounging around. Lucy is quite sociable, appearing interested in dogs she sees on her walks, and she’s always excited to greet her foster mom when she comes home. Lucy is currently with a wonderful foster family. If you’re interested in adopting, it’s straightforward to set up a visit! Just reach out to the adoption desk at 734-662-5585 or email adoptions@hshv.org to get started. She would love to meet you!
