My personality

My story

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

Lucille (Lucy)!! Lucy is a 10 yr old Dachshund weighing 21 lbs. Lucille was pulled from the overcrowded Lorain County Dog Kennel. She had nails that were so long they grew into her pads, and she could hardly walk. She was also overweight and had a skin infection. After her visit to the Avon Lake Animal Clinic, she went to a fantastic foster home and went on a diet! She has already lost weight and now is feeling MUCH better. Lucy had a dental, is spayed and vaccinated.

Lucy loves living the slow life, her favorite thing to is hang out outside and play neighborhood watch. When she isn’t doing her civic duty keeping the neighbors safe, she can be found snuggled under some blankets or romping with her owner.
She has your typical sassy weenie personality and has mastered the puppy dog eyes. She is indifferent to other dogs. She doesn't mind them in her space, but does not initiate play. Aside from porch sitting, her favorite things include belly rubs, car rides, and walks. She's not running a 5k just yet, ;-) but she has been working on her endurance and as she loses weight, she has been able to increase her walk distance.

If you are interested in Lucy, please click "Apply Online" to submit an online application so we can learn a little about you to make sure Lucy would be a good match for you and your family. We do not do out of state adoptions, due to our trial adoption process. Adoption fee/donation is $50.00

Additional adoption info

We ask that you complete our adoption application, so we can lean a little bit about you to ensure we can help find your perfect match.

Please do not ask us to ship our dogs out of state. WE DO NOT SHIP! We require adopters to fill out an adoption form and agree to the terms of our adoption contract. All pets are spay/neutered and vaccinated.  

In addition to looking on the website, we show many of our rescued dogs at regular adoption events. Check out our upcoming events for the next opportunity to meet some of our dogs in person.

More about this rescue

Love-A-Stray is a non-profit, all volunteer, no-kill organization dedicated to helping homeless animals.

Since Love-A-Stray doesn't have a "physical" shelter and our animals are housed in foster homes, we do not have some of the usual operating expenses that would be required for a shelter. Consequently adoption fees, fundraising efforts, and donations go directly to a great cause - the animals! Our four fold mission is to:

1. Lessen pet overpopulation by sterilizing adoptable animals and employing aggressive low-cost spay/neuter programs in an effort to provide financial assistance for families who otherwise would not be able to sterilize their pet.

2. Offer housing for unwanted, homeless animals and when necessary, provide medical treatment including emergency veterinary care.

3. Value the life of all rescue animals by providing innovative behavior rehabilitation, when applicable, and placing them from nurturing foster families into loving, compatible, permanent homes.

4. Educate the public on the importance of being an advocate for animals emphasizing humane treatment and sterilization.
