*PLEASE NOTE LUCY MUST HAVE AN ADOPTER WHO WILL NOT LEAVE HER ALONE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND HAS A FENCED BACKYARD. LUCY WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE TO A HOUSEHOLD WITH OLDER CHILDREN*

Lucy is an absolutely lovely 12-year-old longhair doxie mix whose big eyes will melt your heart. She was surrendered to Little Paws because she was having frequent urinary accidents, which we discovered were caused by untreated urinary tract infections and a hooded vulva.  A surgical procedure was done to correct the defect, and Lucy has done beautifully.

Lucy has the most incredible temperament. She gets along with both men and women, as well as all the dachshunds in her foster home. Cats are unknown, but I suspect that she would also do well with cats as she isn’t prey-driven. Lucy absolutely adores being outdoors, and therefore she is searching for a forever family with a fenced yard. Lucy is also house trained if kept on a regular schedule and not left alone for long periods of time. Because Lucy didn't react well to the addition of a new baby in her previous home, we are looking for a household with older respectable children only. 

Lucy would be the ideal dog for someone who works from home or is retired. 

If you have room in your home for Lucy and would like additional information, please contact her foster mom Beth at bethmittleman@icloud.com

The adoption fee for Lucy is $150. If she is adopted over a state line, there will be a $45.00 charge for a health certificate (required by law).
