The PAWS adoption clinic did not go well for her. It was the day after she was plucked out of the bushes and she spent the entire adoption clinic cowered in her cage and growling at everyone who came near. (read the post below this one to learn about her story)
I am happy to report that almost all of the nasty ticks have fallen off and that she has put on a lot of weight (eats like a piglet right now . . I'm sure she still wonders if each meal is her last LOL). She is happy, bright and a delightful pup to be around. She adores playing and soaks in the hugs and kisses. She is completely social and loves everyone she meets. I am sure the next adoption clinic will go well for her. She loves playing ball and will bring it right back to your hand. She caught on to sit very quickly but like most puppies there are too many distractions for stay to mean much. She caught onto the doggie door very quick and as of the last 3 days has gone outside to do her business without a fuss or accidents.
She is great around the cat, curious but not threatening, in fact the cat scared her to death the first time he turned around and faced her (Monster has raised a LOT of dogs!) She gets on well with our dogs (my jack russell Scout is a cranky old thing though . . and will be happy when she leaves and can resume her queen status)
She is a good girl and deserves a family that will love her. For adoption information, you can call me here 1-800-276-7754 or contact PAWS at pawspals@msn.com7-12-15 UPDATE: Six years ago, Lucy was delivered into the hands of a young man (college grad) named Michael. He lives in the Edmond/Oklahoma City area and was so excited to include Lucy into his life.
He had a fenced backyard, no other pets, so Lucy got his undivided attention. Another plus? he lived less than a block from the local dog park!
I am so pleased! In slightly over three weeks, Lucy has gone from a panic striken, grossly neglected dog to a happy, bouncy, slightly goofy fur bundle of joy!
Michael is now married and Lucy resides in the very happy home of Michael, his wife and two children which she adores. They say she is the BEST dog. I am so pleased that I stopped to pluck her out of the bushes.
Rescue dogs are the best . . they are grateful for their homes and the attention given to them. If you need a dog, bypass the breeder and pet stores and check out your local dog pound, shelter or dog rescue group. You won't regret it!
NEW LUCY PICS!
