Story
Lucy/Lulu has been more of an emotional support dog for me since 2018. Each day keeping my mental health and activity level up. But the past two years it has become very difficult for me because of decline in my physical and mental capacity; I can’t provide the support of her breed. Sadly, since August of 2024 we have been living in and out of a van or temp housing or camping. After much consideration for Lucy to find stability and exercise. She was adopted in 2018 a formerly abused. But get along with others and pets. Lucy struggles with nervous anxiety and requires extreme empathy patience and affection. Her triggers are: separation and food anxiety, tall males in dark clothing, large luggage or boxes, the vet, public crowds and dog parks, fireworks, smoke detector alarms, loud noise. She thrives from quiet space, cats, adolescent to young adults, active seniors. Possibly a remote single worker for outdoor play snuggles snacks and lots of naps! Thank You KIND SOUL in Advance!

Story
Lucy and I have been together 5/2018 in apartments, condominium, senior living, homes and camper van. Unfortunately, the place I am relocating to due to my disability physically it’s too difficult to maintain Lucy. She’s still an energetic 9yr old dog with lots of Love licks to Give. Lulu is Formally Command, Crate and Potty Trained. Gets along very well with elders or adult dogs. Often not as friendly with small children or smaller young dogs. She’s a rescue dog healthy barker when appropriate. Two legged mature females are her ABSOLUTE Favorite Humans to travel, play, snuggle with and protect. But, rain storms, smoke detectors and fire works trigger anxiety and stress. So does the sight of tall dark shadows and shapes or objects. Lulu DESERVES a more consistent on one actively fit compassionate dog lover. And She WILL SOON become A New owners loyal best friend!
