When Lucy was picked up from the pound she had a very long matted coat from long term neglect. She couldn't even see through her long thick fringe! She went straight from the animal shelter to a local groomer where she was groomed. What a difference hours made to little Lucy!

The pound estimated Lucy to be 4-6 years old but she is very playful, more like a 2-3 year old. She has a small frame, only weighs some 5kgs and has a very gentle nature.

She travels well in the car in either a crate or on the seat next to you. She is fantastic with kids, is so very people orientated and just loves to hang out at your feet. She needs to be with you all the time so you have to make room for her on the sofa and in your bedroom. She is happy to sleep on a rug beside your bed as long as she can sense you are there and that she is not on her own or being locked away from you. While on the computer she finds a spot near my feet and falls asleep.

Lucy loves her walks and is learning to walk well on the lead and as she is so people orientated she is just always happy to stay by your side. She gets on well with her foster carers dog although she is so needy for attention she tries to get all of the pats. She has not had many cuddles in her neglected life and is learning to accept these also she had no idea how to play with toys.

Lucy really craves constant companionship so she'd be best suited to a home with someone home all day or with another dog to give her the company she desperately needs.
