Meet Lucy!

Lucy is a 6 year old female released from a a large commercial breeder in June as she could no longer produce pups. She is now spayed and up to date on her shots. She weighs in at around 11 lbs. She is a shy, quiet, sweet little lady looking for a patient and loving home to spend the rest of her life in.

Lucy is leash and crate trained. She walks and plays well with other dogs her size. She’s a smart little girl and will respond to “sit” when on a lead. If taken out on a regular schedule, Lucy does fairly well with housebreaking. She is not completely dependable, and needs patience in that area.

Her coat was shaved after her release, but is growing in black with some tan in the undercoat. Lucy is getting used to human touch and loves to be rubbed and massaged. She is reluctant at first to be picked up, but will quickly relax and enjoy being stroked. Her foster Dad was the one to feed her and give her treats. He regularly held her and massaged her, and she does not appear to be afraid of men. She recently learned about rawhide chew sticks but hasn’t yet figured out what do to with dog toys. Her favorite treat are little bits of canned chicken which has turned out to be a great reward for good behavior. Lucy needs a home where someone can teach her the joys of being a pet and will help her grow into a faithful companion.

Lucy is being fostered in Kerrville, Texas.

If you are interested in adopting Lucy, please complete our adoption application and contact Kathie.

Keep in mind that we prefer to place dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get the dog and that can only happen if the dog is stable enough to travel in the cabin with the passenger.
