female, large, young
DESCRIPTION
Lovely Lucy is as sweet as they come. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but behind those bright blue eyes is an affectionate, playful girl who simply wants to be won over by someone who is consistent and safe.
We believe Lucy is an Australian Shepherd mix with a beautiful copper coat. She absolutely adores toys and likes to keep her favorites close by. Shes been taking notes from her foster brother, who has helped show her that life can be pretty wonderful. Every day she becomes a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more herself.
Lucy is crate trained and having her own space helps her feel safe. She walks nicely on leash in quieter or familiar environments and is doing well with housetraining when kept on a consistent routine. Lucy is 1.5 years old and around 55 lbs.
She would thrive in a calm home with people who understand that trust isnt rushedits earned. In return, youll get to watch a truly special dog blossom into the loyal companion she was always meant to be.
Some dogs wear their hearts on their sleeves. Lucy keeps hers tucked away until she knows shes safe. Once she does, its a beautiful thing to be part of.
Lucy is in foster in Longmont, Colorado.

ABOUT: AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED
The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
