Lucy

Hello, my name is Lucy. I love going for walks, playing with my foster brother, and running around the backyard. I also like cuddles on the couch with my humans. When people are sad and anxious, I like to put my head on their lap and let them know everything is going to be okay. I’m a very good girl and I try to avoid jumping on people. Something I don’t like is being left alone at home. It makes me nervous, and I tend to find stuff to tear up to help with my anxiety. My foster parents don’t know my whole background, but they have a few guesses as to what happened to me by some of my behavior. Like I’m more afraid of women then men. When women raise their voice, I tend to cower. I get scared of rainstorms and thunderstorms, and I don’t like to go outside when it is raining. Loud sudden noises make me jump, and I want to hide or cuddle with someone. I am now crate trained, and for a small treat I'm fine to go into my crate and settle down. I also sleep in my crate at night. It’s actually pretty comfortable since my foster mom put thick blankets and pillows in there for me. When my foster parents have to leave me at home, they put me in my crate. It helps with my anxiety and keeps the stuffed animals and books safe. I am really hoping to find my furever family. I’m good with cats and kittens and I’m also good with other dogs, although sometimes I forget that the senior dog can’t play like the rest of us. I’m also good with people I don’t know and kids I don’t know too. It would be great if I could find a family that could use an emotional support animal. I promise I will always be there for you with cuddles and love. Hope to meet you soon! Are you interested in adopting this dog or another JCAPL pet you have seen?
