Lucy (MI)
Meet Lucy, a petite 15-lb. sweetheart with impeccable manners and a heart full of love. At 8 years old, this charming little lady has been an absolute joy in her foster home. From the moment she arrived, Lucy got along beautifully with dogs of all sizes and ages. She's especially patient with playful pups, happy to join in, but confident enough to set gentle boundaries when she's had enough. Lucy has earned the nickname "Miss Manners" for good reason. She is reliably house-trained, respectful of her space (no chewing, trash diving, or counter surfing), and a calm, easy companion. She walks nicely on a leash, rides well in the car, and behaves like a pro at the vet where staff couldn't stop calling her "a very sweet little dog." Lucy does have some mild mobility quirks due to shoulder hyperlaxity and hip arthritis, which give her a slightly "wonky" walk—but don't let that fool you. She gets around just fine, handles stairs with ease, and even enjoys hopping up on the couch or bed. She prefers a brisk stroll over a run and would love a fenced yard to explore (and maybe keep an eye on those pesky squirrels). Alert and devoted, Lucy makes a great little watchdog with a surprisingly deep bark, though she settles quickly when asked. She may do best in a home where someone is around often, as she can feel anxious when left alone. A retired or work-from-home adopter—or a calm canine companion—would suit her well. At night, she sleeps quietly in her crate but would be happiest snuggled close to her person. If you're looking for a loving, well-mannered companion who gives the sweetest hugs, Lucy is ready to meet you.
