The shelter is no place for a senior dog with special needs💔 Lucy just waits and hopes that someone will be her hero so she can be in a home and not in the kennel environment.
Lucy's special needs are quite manageable, though! She has a wound on her left knee that is healing, hence the cone so she doesn't lick it. Her bloodwork came back quite unremarkable! She also has some arthritis and maybe something neurological because she walks with a little wobbliness and bounce but that sure doesn't stop her from being the best walking partner. She has pep in her step and is the most joyful, loving sweetheart when she is with people.
All Lucy wants are snuggles, naps, a few snacks, and lots of love. She is the most perfectly behaved office dog. Her snores are therapeutic, and her cuddles are magical.
The ideal home for Lucy would be one with minimal stairs and no kitties. If kiddos will be gentle with her, we think she'd love to be their fursister. She used to live with a smaller dog and did great with her. Any dog in the home will need to be calm as she can get knocked over easily. Lucy does not need to be placed with dogs; if she has people to love her, that is when she is happiest.
She is about 11½-years-old and is spayed.
