Lucy

Lucy is new to Homeless Hounds & has been lucky to bag herself a foster home with one of our amazing volunteers. This is what her foster mummy has to say about her:

Lucy, approximately 2 – 3 years old, Bull Lurcher. Lucy is an elegant all white bull lurcher. Ive had the pleasure of spending time with Lucy, she’s lived in my home for a few months. She’s everything you could want in a pet dog. She has decent recall, eager to please. With a little extra training I think she could even be perfect. Lucy lived in the kennels for too many months. She was literally climbing the walls. Taken out of that environment, she’s the perfect companion.

She loves to play with other dogs. I’ve witnessed no doggie aggression whilst she’s been with me. She does play pretty heavy but she’s a large dog. She loves to run and is a real machine. She’s powerful and moves like lightening. She’s quite giddy and a little skittish at times, as she’s still only young but she follows instruction. She’s very food oriented and I can’t fill her. She loves vegetables and she’s currently on raw food. She’s not picky, however, and will try anything. Especially partial to toast for breakfast.

She rarely barks unless someone knocks on the door but is happy to greet visitors. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to take Lucy if out all day working, she needs company or maybe the company of another dog. I wouldn’t recommend a household with cat(s), although I’ve nothing to back up this statement. On the downside, she’s strong on a lead and has been known to damage the odd dog bed if left alone. She’s a healthy young dog, beautiful short soft coat which sheds a little.

Bizarrely she’s good at self cleaning after a run on a muddy field. Thankfully she doesn’t mind a shower too. Please remember she’s lived in a kennel for months, she’s possibly had a number of homes. It’ll take her some time to settle in her new home as it would you or I. Don’t give up on her, she’s worth it! She’ll bring you joy. I challenge you to look in her eyes and not fall in love.
