Lucy

My story

Breed: Miniature Pinscher / Possible Chihuahua Mix Gender: Neutered Female Age: Around 14 years old Size: 10lbs History Lucy was surrendered with her senior brother, Skipper, after their owners could no longer take care of them. Skipper is also available for adoption; they can be adopted together or separately. Personality Lucy is a sweetheart that just wants to sit on your lap for attention. She loves to cuddle and is quite content with a comfy bed, a quiet home, and a person to give them pets and love. She could sit on your lap or snuggle into your shoulder all day if you let her. When people walk in the room, she will get really excited and whine until they give her at least one head pat! Temperament Lucy likes to be near her person and will bark/whine loudly when left alone, so apartment living may not be the best. She came in with another senior dog who she loves, but she does display food reactivity. If you have another pet, we suggest a meet and greet and feeding her separately. She does great with children of all ages! She is house-trained, though would benefit from more frequent bathroom breaks due to her age. Health Despite being in her teens, Lucy is quite healthy. She recently had surgery to remove some old teeth and clean others, and she did amazing! Lucy also enjoys going on walks and is still active. She will even get spurts of energy and try to run around!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lucy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
