Lucy

Hello there, my name is Lucy! My foster mum says I have a beautiful nature - I am definitely a very friendly, happy girl. I am gentle, intelligent, responsive and well behaved.

One of my favourite things is hanging out with my foster parents, although I'm also content to keep myself entertained with a few tennis balls to chew on.

I have a really good temperament considering my pain levels. Recently I had surgery for a cruciate injury, and my other knee will also need an operation in the coming months. I will require lots of TLC and will need to take it easy while I recover.

I love being allowed inside - it's so comfortable there, plus I can get good rest and enjoy my parents' company.

MY IDEAL HOME: I am looking for parents with a really BIG heart that are committed to me. Due to my knee problems, I need a home that will give me lots of care and affection and allow me to be part of the family.

I am happy to be left alone during the day, but when you come home I love to hang out. Even though I am on the larger side, I am very well behaved when indoors. I love routine and will adapt to suit yours very quickly.

MY ENERGY LEVEL: I like to lay around at home during the day and catch the sun. I do need at least one decent walk every day to expel some of my energy.

MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: We don't have children at my foster home but I enjoy their visits. I have a gentle soul, but when I get over excited I forget how strong I am, so older children around 8+ will be the best match.

MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: I don't live with dogs or cats at my current house. I am good with other dogs at the park. I prefer hanging with smaller dogs. Both our neighbours have cats and most of the time I ignore them.
