We were still hoping we could rescue a dog, and it was almost crazy how quickly we found our perfect pup! Lucy was being fostered by a local rescue agency where my neighbors had volunteered. This group takes a Sprinter van to Kentucky every other Friday to rescue cats and dogs from a high kill animal shelter. They place the dogs with foster families for 3-4 weeks or so to make sure they are healthy, get them through their first rounds of preventatives and for them to be spayed and neutered. I saw Lucy on their website and was smitten. Turned out she was being fostered about 10 minutes from us so we arranged a meet-and-greet. Once we found out our family was a good fit, we scheduled a meeting between Lucy and Rosie since we knew we would be having them together a lot. All was well, and Lucy has a great addition to our family! She was advertised as an 18 month of lab-mix who just had a litter of 5 girl puppies. But we think she's about 3 and a pitbull-labrador-something else. She's 50 pounds of fun is what she is!
She's really my spirit animal: her favorite things are naps in the sunshine and being near her people. She doesn't bark, rarely jumps and is overall just a super chill dog. Every once in awhile she gets the sillies and races through the house. And every time she gets her food dish, she does a happy prance. We couldn't be happier to have her.
