This is Lucia - As you can see she is beautiful! Lucia is the sweetest, most lovable pup. She loves her people and will let you know by giving you lots of kisses. Lucia is an active pup but by the end of the day, she just wants to cuddle up beside you on the sofa.
Lucia loves being outside! She loves to run around, play fetch and sunbathe so a fenced-in yard would perfect for her. This pup is treat/food motivated so she pick up on skills/tricks very quickly. Lucia knows the commands sit, stay, down, off, touch, focus, wait, leave it and drop it and she is potty trained.
This pup LOVES, LOVES, LOVES other dogs and would love a doggie friend. Now she gets to play with dogs at the dog park, at doggie day care and with other dogs she meets. Lucia is about 40 pounds and is almost a year old and is a lab/boxer/hound mix. She is altered, up to date on vaccinations and is on monthly heartworm and flea and tick.
Lucia was adopted as a puppy. Her mom recently contacted us stating that she wants to rehome Lucia. She is very sad but feels Lucia would be better a different environment. Lucia lives in a small apartment with no yard and on a very busy/loud street (lots of trucks, busses and lots of traffic). Lucia loves to be outside but it’s not possible for her in her current home and she is not getting the physical/mental stimulation that she needs. Not being able to get her energy out, Lucia can get restless and paces inside. Her mom has seen her in quieter environments and Lucia is much more relaxed and happy.
Lucia’s mom thinks Lucia would benefit from being in a home with a fenced-in yard so she could run around and play. She would also benefit from being in a home with another dog. Lucia is far more confident and follows the lead of other dogs and has no issues even in much busier environments with lots of things going on. Lucia's new person someone should be someone who can devote more time to her. Her current mom has tried to do as much as she can each day with her but she is alone and works. Her mom truly doesn't think she is the right fit for Lucia. Her mom says when she takes Lucia to her parents' home (with a fenced in yard and a less busy neighborhood) and Lucia is so much happier and calmer.
Lucia's new FURever home should have a fenced-in yard and another dog. And a special person/family that has the patience to make her feel comfortable. Patience, love, slow exposures to new experiences and training with positive reinforcement will make Lucia happier pup. We are sure if you adopt Lucia, she will be a devoted, loving companion. Lucia just needs some special person to see her for the true diamond in the ruff she is.
Every sad story needs a happy ending. Could you be Lucia’s happy ending?
