Lady Lucy (Benefactor Dog) - Sheep Dog and Poodle Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Lady Lucy
Lady Lucy is a beautiful 4-year-old, 61lbs, Sheepadoodle with a sweet, gentle personality and the cutest little smile. She's spayed, heartworm negative, and has adjusted remarkably well to foster life.
Once Lucy knows she's safe, she settles into a calm, laid-back and incredibly loving girl who just wants to be near her people. She slept through the night from the start, quickly picked up the household routine, and has fit right in with the other dogs in her foster home.
Lucy is housebroken and kennel trained, good with dogs and kids, and rides in the car like a pro. Cats are currently unknown. She's also discovered the joys of a good chew bone and is starting to show more of her personality as she gets comfortable.
Sudden loud noises can sometimes spook her, but a little reassurance goes a long way-and surprisingly, the vacuum cleaner doesn't bother her at all! She does pull on leash and will need some continued work on her leash manners, but she's otherwise a pretty calm and easygoing girl.
Lucy will occasionally bark, but overall she's a chill, affectionate companion who seems happiest simply knowing her people are nearby.
This lovely Lady is looking for a forever home where she can feel safe, loved, and part of the family. Could Lady Lucy be your girl?
