Read Lucy's story below.

Lucy has been surrendered back into our arms and is beginning the task of looking for her new family to love. 
After seeking the advice of her previous owners "allergist", it was determined that though the family was NOT allergic to her specifically in ANY way, the family has developed severe environmental allergies to which, they felt, Lucy was bringing into the home on her. 
Per our puppy contracts, she was surrendered back to us to give immediate relief to the poor children suffering through strong medications that seemed to do little to help the matter.

Lucy at 8 weeks old

Lucy's training with previous owner as a pup is still strong in her. She knows the basics of obedience, is house trained and sleeps very well in her crate, willingly going in on her own both at night but also for naps during the day. It is still her den and safe space. A smart little cookie who, gives us the signal she needs out by looking to her leash - and even attempting to get it herself from the shelf. She will bark to alert us as well if we are distracted. But like her mama Lu, she points with her nose and looks to what she wants.
As a pup she tested a middle energy gal, however, after spending the past week with her, I see she can get spun up in playful energy quickly. (Like her Mama Luella) Definately a gal who can keep up with the sport at play. In downtime, she enjoys a good jaw working chew, such as a raw meaty bone, otherwise, no stuffy is safe. She responds to a cheerful whistle, but buzzing bugs in the garden freak her out. If you sneeze, she offers a "bless you" in return hahaha. In cuddles she quickly flops for belly rubs. The butt slide down is real!!!
There are a couple things we are working on with her as she begins to settle in here with us. Her sniffer of a nose can get the best of her on walks, so loose leash walking is in progress of retraining this. As an adolescent, it can almost always be a regression with this. She also gets SO excited to greet that she gets spun up and runs around you in circles. Re training a CALM sit in this respect as well is also being worked on.
  Overall, Lucy is just wanting to be loved and is a happy little dog who offers that love readily. She has the sweetest little squeak to her bark upon greeting that I've already begun to nickname her "Squeakers" LOL. But her alerting bark, is more that of a normal tone. When hubs returns home from work, she goes ballistic to see him and becomes an emotional mess for a few minutes. (Like she did when a young pup before she left us last year) yes, she remembers ALL of us.
 
Lucy is still settling in and Im sure, grieving the loss of her family. In the coming weeks we will be officially putting her up for adoption. In the meantime, if Lucy sounds like a little gal that you may want in your life, please reach out to us as we continue to learn who she is and best placement in a new family for her.
Adoption fee TBD at this time.
