Lucy is an adorable girl who had been abandoned on the side of the road in a crate in a pile of garbage in California (see photo.) We were so sad for her and the other little dog she was dumped with that we took them both into our foster program.
- 14.5 pounds and approximately 1.5 years old
- Lower energy and content to cuddle, play in the backyard and take a walk each day.
- Shy initially but bonds very quickly with women. Nervous of men. Has lived with gentle kiddos but can startle.
- Best as an only dog. Lucy would love to have her person all to herself. She can go on walks and sniff other dogs and do well but she just doesn't really want to socialize with other dogs.
- Loves a lap and to cuddle with her person. Doesn't mind being held.
- Easy on leash and likes to mosey along and smell the flowers.
- Likely fine with cats but we haven't officially tested her.
- Doing fairly well with her potty habits
- Can be crated or left home alone in room with a baby gate and does well with that.
Lucy is vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and will be spayed on July 1st. Her adoption fee also includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Portland or Tualatin.
$250 adoption fee

All of our dogs are in foster homes that help them to learn to be good house guests. Our foster dogs thrive in a home environment rather than a scary shelter where they would become stressed. Plus we gain lots of good information about the dog's personalities in a foster home setting.
All foster homes are located within 45 minutes of Portland, Oregon. Once we receive your adoption application and chat with you, we will provide you the foster home's contact information that has the dog you're interested in meeting.
