 Meet Lucy — Your Next Loyal Running Buddy! 

8 year old Lucy is as sweet as they come and absolutely loves people and other dogs. She’s hung up her hunting boots but is still full of energy and ready to be your companion on long runs and adventures.

We want to be upfront about her needs so we find her the perfect home:

  • Must have a secure deer or iron-fenced yard — no wooden railings! Lucy can climb a 6ft wooden fence, so a solid fence is a must to keep her safe.
  • A strong kennel and secure run are needed for times when she’s left alone.
  • She needs a home with a dog-savvy owner who understands she’ll chase small running animals — so she must be leashed or supervised carefully around rabbits, cats, or other small pets.  She has walked past a cat in the lounge but let’s be honest, she may not have seen it!
  • She’s toilet trained indoors and good in her crate.
  • She walks well on a slip lead and is excellent on pack walks.
  • She plays beautifully with other dogs but if another dog starts trouble, Lucy will stand her ground.  She would thrive in a home with a canine companion who can keep up with her energetic playstyle. She’s respectful of grumpy older dogs and will leave them alone if they’re not interested in playing.
  • Lucy is very affectionate and loves being with people.

Lucy’s current foster can keep her until December but wants to ensure Lucy goes to a home that suits her adventurous spirit and safety needs. She’s best suited for homes with bigger children, as she can get a bit overexcited and knock smaller ones over.

The ideal home for Lucy would be a townhouse with a secure high fenced section. She has been good around stock she has been by and would love to have lots of adventures with her new family!

If you have a secure home and a big heart for this lively, loving girl, please get in touch. Lucy’s ready to give endless love — if only she had a safe place to call home. Could that be with you?

Adoption fee: $350 (includes spay, vaccination, microchip, flea/worm treatment, and registration). Vet reference and property inspection required.

She has an adoption fee of $350 and, as with all of our foster dogs, we’ll require a vet reference and property inspection prior to adoption.
