Story
Lucy is ready for her new home! She is an unclaimed stray so we don't know her history; or her breed really. I have her listed as Basenji (she has a curly tail!) & Dachshund mix but she could be anything from Chihuahua to Beagle to Black Mouth Cur. It would be fun to DNA test her!! Lucy is 18# & estimated at 7 months old. She is still learning things & is unsure often but is very energetic. Lucy seems to be housetrained but we are still working on crate training. She needs an experienced owner or someone willing to work with a fear free force free trainer. She would really benefit from some classes to help with her confidence.  Lucy has been dog friendly & is playful but she will need slow introductions to new dog friends.  She needs another playful dog in the home or an active owner that'll make sure she gets daily exercise & enrichment.  Lucy has some resource guarding with food.  That just means she needs to be fed separately or in a crate.  Lucy has not been cat tested yet but that can be arranged if needed. She should be ok with older children (13+). Lucy does well on a leash so she doesn't require a fenced in yard but will need to be leashed or on a tie out at all times. Lucy's adoption fee is $225. She is fully vetted for 1 year, spayed, microchipped, & on monthly preventatives. Applications for adoption are at www.trackingintheshadows.com. Please live within 1 hour of Elkhart, IN. *We do not accept electric/underground fences. All dogs & cats in the home must be spayed/neutered & up to date on core vaccines & preventatives in order for your application to be approved.* ##2177789##
