About Lucy

Lucy is a beautiful German Shepherd mix from the Peanuts litter, born at the end of March. She's a delightful puppy who's equal parts brains, affection, and enthusiasm! Lucy is a smart and curious girl who loves learning new things and is incredibly food motivated, making her an excellent training partner. She picks up on routines quickly and is diligently working on her manners.

When treats or kibble appear, Lucy's excitement can sometimes get the better of her self-control! She's practicing sitting politely and waiting for permission before taking goodies, but occasionally her inner puppy "land shark" makes a brief appearance. The good news is, she's eager to learn and responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement. Lucy also enjoys her meals a little too much and would thrive with puzzle feeders, enrichment activities, or hand-feeding sessions that help slow her down while engaging her active mind.

Lucy is a very social pup who adores people. She's described as cat-friendly, affectionate, friendly, playful, and eager to be part of all your adventures. Lucy hasn't shown any prey drive and enjoys making new human friends. Like many young puppies, Lucy is still building confidence when left on her own. She may whine or bark briefly in her crate or pen, even when her people are nearby, but she settles quickly and sleeps soundly through the night in her crate. She's continuing to learn that alone time is safe and temporary.

Ideal Home

Lucy is looking for a family ready to continue her training, provide plenty of mental enrichment, and help her grow into the amazing dog she's already showing herself to be.

Ongoing Health

Lucy will be spayed by our preferred vet after she reaches 6 months of age. Her adoption fee includes up-to-date vetting.
