Lucy a 4 year old heading X collie or foxy, we aren’t 100% sure but she is small.
Pint sized pocket rocket Lucy is looking for an awesome family to take her on adventures.
This sweet girl is gentle and affectionate; she would happily snuggle up next to you on the couch (or on the bed) if she was allowed, and likes to sit in your lap.
Fantastic with other dogs, Lucy is very good at reading social cues and will submit nicely to bossy older dogs. But she loves to play and she plays rough! Currently fostered with a boisterous 7 month old husky cross, she gives as good as she gets and they keep each other occupied for hours.
A home with a buddy who can match her play style is a must for her.
Good with children, gentle and kind. She does prefer women and is not a fan of raised voices or hands, but she is happy to meet new people and will go up to everyone.
Lucy is best suited to a home without cats. She is very intent on them and looks for them if she is out in the yard. While you’re with her she can be managed but we don’t feel she is trustworthy around cats if left alone.
Excellent recall, sits nicely. Hasn’t spent a lot of time on the lead but is good off lead and doesn’t go too far ahead of you. She’d make a great hiking or biking companion, and boy is she fast.
Toilet trained and crate trained.
She can be busy in the car and would prefer to sit right by you, but is fine if she is in a crate or behind a dog screen.
Has met chickens briefly while on a leash, interested until she was told to leave it and then fine. Should be ok with good introductions.
Has been around stock including cattle and sheep with no issues (was trailed as a working dog but doesn’t quite have what it takes).
She is best in a home without horses as she will heel them if she has the opportunity.
We think the ideal home for Lucy is an active pet home with a playful young buddy.
She is a delightful little dog and so easy to have around. She likes to follow you everywhere and will be a loyal friend.
Lucy has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm treated, and is currently registered.
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.
If you’re interested in Lucy please get in touch! We’d love to find her a home before Christmas.
