About Lucy

Lucy is a 2-year-old, 12 lb Rat Terrier/Dachshund mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. This little girl has been through a lot and is looking for a calm, loving home where she can finally decompress. Lucy is very shy and skittish at first, especially in new environments and around new people. Shelter life has been overwhelming for her, and she would truly benefit from a foster or forever home where she can decompress, settle in, and begin to build trust at her own pace. While she may be reserved in the beginning, we know that once Lucy feels safe, her sweet, playful, and loving personality will start to shine through. She just needs a patient, understanding person willing to give her the time she deserves. Lucy does great with other dogs and would feel more comfortable with a calm canine companion in the home to help her build confidence. Lucy is the kind of dog who may take a little extra time—but the bond you build with her will be incredibly special. If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and can offer a gentle, safe place for her to land, Lucy could be your perfect little companion!

Ideal Home

Lucy would do best in a quiet, predictable home in a peaceful neighborhood, without young children, where she can relax and slowly come out of her shell. She would also feel more comfortable with a calm canine companion in the home to help her build confidence.

Ongoing Health

Lucy is up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped and spayed.

Training & Support

Lucy is shy and skittish at first and needs time to decompress and build trust at her own pace. Patience and understanding are key to helping her come out of her shell.
