My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lucy is a 5 year old terrier mix who has had quite a life already and is ready for a truly loving and stable forever home! She was adopted from a shelter, then suspect hit by a car, then sent off to a horrific rescue, seized by animal control, and finally ended up with our rescue and in a loving foster home that has completed extensive vet care and rehab work to get her to the healthy point she is now!

She marches to her own beat (literally).

Total lap dog but also appreciates her alone time.

Good with other dogs but we think she might be better as an only dog. She’s also still learning how to be a dog and how to socialize/play.

So easygoing and calm. Go with the flow. Unbothered by loud noises or other dogs barking.

Does get carsick sometimes.

Doesn’t mind baths, nail clippings, wearing clothes, being held, etc.

She urinates on her own and has some control on holding it or only going when outside. But needs patience on potty walks because they can take a while and/or needs a little expressing to completely empty out. She kind of sprinkles here and there.

Good eater. And likes most treats. She is so gentle now when taking treats from human hand.

Good on leash. Still good with 45-60 minute walks.

LOVES dog toys.

Loyal to her humans. For example, she seems to prefer me and will follow me everywhere while at home. But in new or uncomfortable situations (like therapy) she looks for comfort from both of us since we’re the familiar people to her.

If you’re looking for the perfect companion, Lucy is your girl!
