Description:

Lucy joined LDDR in October 2011!

11/9/2011: We have a bit more on LucyLou's history. She came into our rescue as an owner surrender from an elderly couple who was moving to an assisted living home. She's a very good dog, great temperament. Her previous owners had cats so we know she does fine with them. Her current foster family does not have kids, cats, or dogs, but families with kids have come to visit and Lucy is happy as can be to run around with the kids in the fenced backyard. The neighboring homes have dogs who are often hanging out in the yard as well, and Lucy loves to run back and forth with them through the fence, so we are predicting she's good with dogs, but of course we will have her meet your own dog(s) before finalizing an adoption to make sure everyone gets along! Lucy has no need for a crate as she is not a chewer and she is fully housebroken. She doesn't like going in the crate, so we just haven't pursued it with her. She is a great leashwalker; of course she pulls when she sees a squirrel that she wants to meet, but that's the shepherd in her; other than that, she is excellent on a leash.

10/31/2011: Lucy is new so we have more to learn about her, but we do know she is a very pretty shepherd girl. Her owners became too frail to care for her and when one of them had a stroke, it was clear that she needed to find a new place. Like most shepherds, Lucy is smart and listens to corrections right away. She is housetrained and loves attention. She knows a few commands and will make a great new family member. Applicants with shepherd experience are highly preferred.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
