Meet Lucy
Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center lists Lucy as a female "American Bulldog / Beagle" in Derwood, Maryland. She is a 9-year-old American Bulldog/Beagle mix, and her size is listed as large. Lucy is described as lovable, with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life.
Lucy can get a little enthusiastic on walks and may pull on the leash. With consistency and patience, she is reported to be sure to keep improving. Thunderstorms and bath time aren't her favorite things. She would appreciate a family that can help her feel safe during those moments. She is reported to have no known health or behavior concerns.
This sweet senior has spent the last nine years with her family. Her age shouldn't fool you, though, because Lucy still loves to play. She enjoys wrestling and running with other dogs. She greets new people with a wagging tail, and maybe an excited jump or two. She is always ready for a little fun.
Lucy is housetrained. She does well when left home alone.

About Lucy’s reported breeds
American Bulldog
Listed as American Bulldog
The American Bulldog is a large, muscular working breed that began as a farm and guarding dog. American Bulldogs tend to bond closely with their families, can be cautious with strangers, and do best with consistent training and early socialization. The American Kennel Club gives a general life expectancy of 10-12 years.
Beagle
Listed as Beagle
The Beagle is a small hound that the AKC lists as curious, friendly and merry. Beagles tend to be driven by scent, which can make training and outdoor walks challenging. They need daily exercise, and they are prone to obesity, so portion control matters. The AKC gives a general life expectancy of 10-15 years.
A mixed-breed dog may show some or all of the personality traits associated with the breeds listed, in their own combination. The shelter's observations tell you more about this individual dog.
