After being rescued from animal control and saved from euthanasia, Lucerne has been given a second chance at life.

Lucerne’s biggest wish is simple: to finally know what it feels like to be truly loved. This sweet, petite one-year-old just wants gentle arms to hold her, a warm lap to curl up in, and a home where she will always feel safe and cherished.

She finds comfort in her toys, her cozy little hideaway bed, and the quiet reassurance of kindness. Lucerne was given a second chance—but she still needs the one thing no shelter can provide: a forever family. She needs someone to open their heart to her and give her the happy ending she so deeply deserves. Could it be you? Please don’t let her keep waiting. Lucerne deserves to be loved now, and the person who says yes to her will gain a deeply loyal, tenderhearted companion in return.
