Sweet Lucy is looking for a forever home in Vancouver--it's almost a month since she arrived, and she's doing amazing!

Lucy was born at the shelter by a pregnant stray dog that came into our shelter.
Being an unspayed female, she's been bitten and attacked at the shelter, which made her grow timid and cautious (she's since been spayed).
Due to her size (28lb) and looks, perhaps, Lucy did not get any foster inquiries for several years.
She finally got her chance to get out of the shelter, but unfortunately had to hop around 3 foster homes (including this one in Vancouver), still looking for her forever family.
In every new home, though, she's shown gentleness and vulnerable curiosity toward people. She's good with other dogs & although she's so new to this, really good on walks--just need to give her confidence when she stops and freezes from loud noises & crowd of oncoming people.
💌 Important Notes 💌
✔️ Lucy will be best at homes with other dogs,
and with family members experienced with rescue dogs (timidity & sociability).
✔️ She gets anxious when she's left alone without another dog. If she's with other dogs, she okay but when she is all alone, she misbehaves in anxiety, like chewing off cable cords, chewing on things in general. 😅
In cases she needs to be left alone, she stays perfectly calm in her crate/kennel.
✔️ She's been treated for ear infection and it's best if her ears are routinely checked and maintained.
✔️ She is scared of strangers (more scared of males)--may have nervous barking (which stops once she's warned) and may even p**p a bit.
