LUCY - Carolina Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Boston, Massachusetts

MEET LUCY! Lucy is an adorable little mix breed pup looking for a new place to call home. At 6 months old and just about 20 pounds, she is the perfect fit for someone looking for a medium sized pooch. Lucy traveled a long way from Mississippi to be with us here at ARL. When she arrived we found she had a badly injured hind leg that required amputation. Now a tri-pod, Lucy has taken the switch over to three legs with stride and seems so much more comfortable! She loves meeting new friends and will greet all with her signature puppy wiggles. Does she sound like the one for you? Please come by to meet her! Lucy is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY however, we are unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements. For more information on this or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.

The Carolina Dog, a primitive breed known for its wild ancestry, is a medium sized, agile, and intelligent dog originally found roaming freely in the Southeastern United States. With a distinctive appearance marked by erect ears, a bushy tail, and a sable coat, Carolina Dogs are highly adaptable, affectionate with their families, and wary of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. Their natural hunting instincts and independence require consistent training and an active lifestyle to thrive in a loving home environment.

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.
