Meet Lucy, a lovely 30 lb Blue Heeler mix. If you`re looking for a dog that loves to snuggle, play, and just be near her people, look no further!
Lucy has lived in a home with a fenced in yard as well as a home where she needed to potty on leashed walks. She is easily distracted, so she needs a consistent location and reminders to go potty before fun things happen in the beginning (first 3-5 days). She has not given cues that she wants to go out yet, but has done very well with a routine. She is now starting to go potty with less rigor as she has become familiar with our neighborhood and walking route (we start with the potty spot but then she goes again at the end of the walk without being asked to.)
Lucy REALLY loves her people and wants to be near them whenever she can - she is a great couch snuggler! She likes to meet new people, but if they are going to enter the house then introductions should be tried outside first or with her behind a gate as she has displayed the heeler/terrier tendency to guard her people from unfamiliar intruders by growling. She does accept new people into the house and seeks pets after a few minutes. This may improve with time and confidence as she has only been in her current environment for a week.
She lived with 14 other small dogs at one point and as an only dog currently. As a young adult heeler she can become overstimulated so a single, well matched dog sibling or as an only dog would be best. She has reacted positively to adult dogs her size or smaller (mostly female) as well as been very forgiving with puppies. ABSOLUTELY NO CATS as she has a very high prey drive - if it runs she will chase it.
Lucy has not lived with kids but has interacted with them in public. She has been cuddly and affectionate with respectful children who did not `come in hot` straight to her face but allowed her to come to them. She has given a corrective air bite when charged by a running child, so her space and safety will need to be protected by her humans (like with any dog).
She currently sleeps in a crate but is not fond of it. She has made her desires known that she would really prefer to steal your bed, but with consistent training a happy medium should be possible where she sleeps on a dog bed outside of the crate. She has been left alone in the crate for short amounts of time, and each time has started with 10-15 minutes of drama before she settles down. We have successfully left her alone outside of
