🐶 COURTESY POST – Looking for a Loving Home for Lucy ❤️
Please note: This dog is not in the care of our rescue. We are sharing this post on behalf of her owner to help her find the right home. If you're interested, please contact the owner directly using the information at the end of this post.
🐾Meet Lucy. The 25lb ball of smiles and eagerness you have been searching for. Lucy is a 6 month old female Australian Cattle dog cross. She still has some growing left to do, but I don't anticipate she will get much bigger. Lucy has a true love for the outdoors and has been up for any activity or adventure I throw at her. In her short time with me Lucy has been camping multiple times, hiking various terrain, paddleboarding, swimming, she has visited Silverstar Mountain for an event and been to Revelstoke for the patios. She enjoys the activity of farmers markets and indoor shopping venues/cafes that allow dogs. Lucy has been around people with diverse abilities, communication styles and individuals in wheelchairs/power devices and remains her happy go lucky self.
🐕Currently Lucy spends her days as my sidekick as we adventure around the Okanagan. She gets walks daily - distance and slow sniff walking) as well as engagement that keeps her brain exercised. She will do best with someone who understands the importance of providing enrichment opportunities other that throwing a ball and sidewalk walks. She does well driving in the car and quickly settles into her regular spot, periodically sitting up to see where we are.
Lucy has been crate trained and has spent up to 6 hours in her crate, without any issues (I monitor via video feed). When she does need to spend time alone for an extended period, I will provide an enrichment toy that takes her approx 45 minutes to finish and then she quickly settles in to sleep/rest. She is provided with 1 crate appropriate chew option in the crate. Lucy has never soiled in her crate and exits calmly while she makes her way to the door to go outside.
🐶Lucy is a confident dog who is happy meeting new people and animals daily. She is very observant and can often be found sitting quietly watching something (farm animals, bugs, neighbors). But she can also go for what seems like forever on adventures, often eagerly waiting with a smile while I pack up.
🌟Lucy is such a funny, goofy ball of energy and I think the ideal home would be full of the same. Lucy needs people who are confident in dog behavior/training and also have an understanding of what having a working breed type dog means. Lucy was born to be a sidekick for the adventurous types - heading out on some forest service roads - sidekick. Camping at a provincial park - sidekick. A day on the water - pack your sidekicks lifejacket! Lucy is not an apartment dog and needs a home with some property she can run off leash and get the zoomies out.
I have so much more I can say about how awesome this dog is, I could go on forever. I am rehoming Lucy for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with her, her behavior, characteristics or any event. I am able to explain the situation if the right person or family expresses interest in Lucy. This is my first time ever having to rehome one of my animals and I am only considering the ideal homes.
If you feel drawn to Lucy and want to know more about her, please reach out via email but give 24 hours for response. Willing to travel within BC for the perfect match.
🏠Her ideal home information:
The ideal home is one where she can be included as a true member of the family and allowed to be her goofy self. Lucy is a very active dog and LOVES being outside. Lucy should have a yard to be able to run out her zoomies leash free while still learning her recall skills. She is a true companion dog and enjoys being with her people; car rides, paddleboarding, beach days, hiking, camping, swimming, community walks and any other adventure that gets thrown her way. Lucy should have a person who has an understanding of dog behavior and especially a working breed dog. She needs someone who is willing to continue her training as she loves learning. Someone who will also commit to working her brain and her body as it keeps her less desirable breed traits in check. Lucy could do well learning the ropes from an older dog if there was one already in the home. Lucy enjoys children and has been around them since she was 8 weeks old, she is still learning not to jump up to greet people so older children might be better matched.
