Lucy has had a rough start to life - Was rescued from texas at 2 years old chained to a tree emaciated & nursing pups. She was immidiately very sweet to her rescuer, licking her hand and jumping into their car. She and her puppies were transported to the Northwest to give them a better chance at finding a new home. All of her puppies have found great homes in the Pacific Northwest. One of the puppies was even DNA tested showing Lucy is one or more mix of ( American Staffordshire terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Boxer & French Bulldog). Despite her rough start, she bonds quickly and is a very lovey dog.
Her personality is silly, affectionate & intelligent. She loves to cuddle, and does that goofy thing where she rolls on her back noses your hand & begs for attention. She's happy just tagging along and being involved. She has little skip in her step occasionally - likely from a puppyhood injury. But it does not bother her or slow her down. She gets zoomies & can be excitable at times; but generally is a very laid back dog after she has checked everything out. She walks decent on leash & is responding very well to training. She is kennel trained. And 80-90% potty trained. She will occasionally bark, but very responsive to being asked to stop and is generally a quiet dog.When we pass barking dogs on walks she ignores them. Ocassionally she will act a little shy if they are barking loudly. She can be shy of new stimuli, but recovers quickly. She isn't a fearful dog (couldn't care less about the fireworks) but with her start in life, she has not been exposed to many people or situations. Her default personality is fairly confident & self assured. She has been doing great so far with socializing & is very food motivated. She is more comfortable with women & can be shy with men & strangers initially. She is improving, and from what I see I think it is something she will overcome as her confidence & trust in people grows. She enjoys being around other dogs, but has no social skills and gets overstimulated playing. Becuase of this she requires an only dog home. She is little - only 36 lbs. She's honestly an amazing little dog.
