My name is OR/Lucy (bonded with Susie)!

Hi everyone – I’m Lucy, a very mischievous 12 year-old.  I love my daughter Susie and we go everywhere together so I’m looking for a home where we can be adopted together.

Why Lucy and Susie are such a perfect pair and will only be adopted together:

• They are bonded at the hip and literally don’t like to go anywhere without each other.  They love being together and caring for one another.
• They love everybody! They are great with other dogs and humans of all ages. (Ok maybe they love cats a little too much to share a home with them.) 
• Golden years but with loads of energy!  Don’t be fooled by their ages – while they are mature, sweet-natured, and well-socialized companion dogs, they both still have plenty of spunk and love to play, run, and explore even while they like their quiet time and snoozing by your side. They are Brittanys with the dial turned down just a tad. 
• Perfect for the Brittany lover. They represent all the classic traits of the breed. Cuddle masters? Check. Outdoor adventures? Yes please. Pulling on the leash? No way!  They have mastered good leash manners with their twice daily walks (mandatory for their well being and good manners).  Exploring their yard and lounging in the sun?  Absolutely.  Well-behaved and able to be left uncrated in the house when their parents are away?  Mastered.  
• These two will need a home with a good sized yard surrounded by a sturdy 5-foot fence that is secured at the bottom.
• They are spayed, current on their vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped.

Lucy’s corner:

• Not to brag, but my foster parents say I am pure sweetness.  I like to think of myself as the matriarch of the house:  confident, curious, and tail always wagging.  You’ll often find me  waddling around the house checking on everyone in the family. 
• Who are you calling old:  The vet says I’m in excellent health!  Twelve years young.
• Did I tell you I’m rather adventurous?  I love to explore the yard and initially looked for escape routes to go on walkabouts.  My twice daily walks with my foster parents have tempered my desire to roam, although I do need a yard with a fence that is secured at the bottom.

Lucy’s adoption fee is $250.00 (their combined adoption fee is $500.00).  Note Lucy and Susie are eligible for the senior-to-senior adoption fee of $150.00 per dog for qualified adopters ($300.00 combined senior-to-senior adoption fee).
