Venmo

35 lbs. 4 years old. Spayed. House-trained. History of seperation anxiety (previous owner) that could resurface if not managed appropriately. (We'll give you the tips. She's done pretty well here and has shown dramatic improvement from when she got here!)

Lucy is our happy-go-lucky girl! She has medium exercise needs and is a people-person... or.. uh.. dog! You might call her a "velcro dog." She has been great with our little kids and she has been an ambassador to cousins that visit our house and are "scared of dogs." (We introduce them to Lucy to show them dogs can be gentle and sweet). She is very loving and openly affectionate, but she definitely picks "her person" that she prefers more than anyone else (That's me!) She follows me around like my little shadow, finding a comfortable spot on the floor in whatever room I finally land in. When she's lucky, I give her permission to get up on a couch and you can tell she feels like she is living the high-life!

But honestly, she's pretty easy to make happy; the recipe to make Lucy happy is some pets, some pats, the privilege of cleaning up the floor after the baby eats (dog-safe foods only of course), and maybe a walk, a car ride, or a game of fetch to round out the day! And her perfect day? That would be a rainy day snuggled up in a blanket right next to you (or on you. Personal space does not exist.) while you watch movies all day!

She's easy to groom. She's respectful of the house (but does like to counter surf or dump garbage cans if food is left unattended). She's NOT easy to walk, sadly. She likes to go on walks, but wants to say 'Hi' to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING and becomes very excited and hard to reign-in. I've taught her an "attention" command that helps with people passerby's, but she is still very reactive to dogs (READ: "overexcited." I'm pretty sure her internal thoughts are: "You are dead to me. There's a dog over there.") Her recall is good, as long as there aren't other dogs or interesting people. Then her recall is terrible.

Vacations can be tricky. With her seperation anxiety history, the two solutions we've found that work best are to have her stay at the house of another dog-savvy person or leave her at OUR house with doors closed to the rooms we don't want her in. Then we have someone come feed her and let her out 2-3 times a day. WE WOULD BE HAPPY to be her home-away-from-home anytime her new owners go on vacation, as long as we are available AND the new owner can provide proof of current vaccinations. (We would watch her for FREE btw. Just happy to stay in touch!)

Speaking of, she is due for rabies by the end of July. She is due for the other vaccines in November. We keep her on a heartguard shot once a year as we live in a mosquito-heavy area and she has always been dewormed regularly. No known allergies or food sensitivities. She is genetic tested through Wisdom and is clear (we will include that paperwork alongside her AKC and CKC registrations.)

We have a 5 foot fenced backyard, with a 3.5 foot inner "dog run" fence. She jumps in and out of the 3.5 foot fence with ease. We haven't had her jump the 5 foot outer fence since we moved anything that she could use as a "springboard" at least three feet away from the fenceline. (READ: She could be an escape artist if new owner is not adequately prepared!)

She will do fine in just about any home, as she is very adaptable, but we are loosely looking for a home that has at least one person home most of the time. Lucy has been part of our breeding program (a superstar btw!) and is now retired! (congrats, Lucy!) The strictest we ever are on owners for dogs is for our own retired mama-dogs. A high-quality home is our number one priority (for all dogs, but especially mama-dogs), so we'd love to hear more about YOU and we will be asking a rehoming fee to ensure she makes it into a high-quality home. We are not in a rush, so take your time thinking and asking us questions. In the meantime, she's a sweetheart and I will enjoy all the Lucy snuggles I can get!
