About This Dog

Lucy's ideal home

Lucy is a sweet but nervous Chihuahua cross Collie looking for a new home through no fault of her own. As an older girl, Lucy is looking for a quiet home where she can take things easy and relax. She could live with secondary school aged children, provided they are happy to give her some space when she needs it. Lucy is going to need a patient family, who are going to give her the time she needs to come out of her shell, we may also ask that potential adopters come to meet her at the centre a few times, just to make sure that she’s comfortable with them before they take her home. Lucy gets on well with some dogs, and will bark at and run away from others, she could potentially live with another calm dog, pending successful meets here at the centre. She does like to chase pigeons and cats though, so couldn’t live with cats or small furries.

Could you be Lucy's perfect match?

Lucy is an affectionate 11 year old girl who is being rehomed through our Homestay scheme. She is fully housetrained and can be left for a few hours without issue, although we would always recommend building this up over time in a new home. While she can travel in the car, it’s not her favourite activity, as she has suffered from some car sickness in the past, so would ideally like a home where lots of driving isn’t essential. Lucy is a dear little soul who just needs a loving home where she can feel safe, could that home be yours?
