Meet Lucy

Meet Lucy! A spirited three-year-old Australian Shepherd from Apopka, FL, whose essence is a whirlwind of affection wrapped in a stunning blue merle coat. With her sparkling eyes and beautiful markings, Lucy is a head-turner wherever she goes—but it's her heart full of loyalty and her deep love for human companionship that truly shine! Lucy is the kind of dog who thrives as your one and only. She’s deeply devoted to her people and craves that one-on-one connection that makes her feel secure and cherished. She needs to be the sole pet in her new loving home, as she's not compatible with other dogs or cats—but oh, how she’ll pour her love into her human family! This medium-sized beauty weighs in at 43 pounds and is packed with personality. She’s already mastered fun tricks like sit, come, shake, roll over, and even dance! Stay could use a little polish, but with some consistent positive reinforcement, she’s eager to learn. Lucy does best with a calm, structured routine—she enjoys running in a fenced backyard, a tasty dinner in the evening, and a midday treat to keep her tail wagging. Playtime for Lucy means soccer-ball-sized toys and a game of fetch that keeps her happily bouncing around! Her energy is just right—not over-the-top, but enough to enjoy regular play and activity. She’s crate-trained, house-trained, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, so she’s ready to move in and settle into her new space. Though she can be stubborn at times, Lucy’s affectionate nature makes her a constant companion. She’s the type who will follow you from room to room, happy just to be near her favorite person. A fenced yard is a must for her safety and happiness, and she’s content when left alone for short periods—though she’ll always be happiest when she knows you're nearby. Reach out to [email protected] and come meet the best friend who’s been waiting just for you!
