Lucy - Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Meet Lucy, a strong and independent girl with a big personality—and an even bigger appetite!

Lucy’s foster mom says she’s quite the eater, but she’s still growing, so she needs all that fuel! When she’s not busy filling her belly, Lucy loves playtime with her siblings, Loki and Lance. The three of them have a great time wrestling, playing tug-of-war, and keeping each other entertained.

As independent as she may be, Lucy also has a soft and cuddly side. After a good play session, one of her favorite places to be is curled up in someone’s lap for a cozy nap.

Lucy is the perfect combination of playful, independent, and affectionate. She’s ready to find her forever family where she can continue growing, playing, and getting plenty of lap time.

Lucy is estimated to be 8 weeks old and 7 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, and have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested.
