About Lucy - $99 Adoption Fee
We love Lucy and so will you!!
Meet Lucy, she came into care with her litter of 13 puppies who have now all been adopted to their furever homes and is wanting to find a furever home for herself.
Lucy is a very sweet natured dog who loves a good snuggle. She is best as an inside dog who wants nothing more than to be able to lounge on your bed with you. She is an expressive girl with her body language, facial expressions and sometimes has a little winge in the form of groaning.
She has come a long way since she has been in care, at first, she was quite timid and reactive to a variety of different things when overaroused. Now she generally ignores most things with few slip-ups. Despite her major improvement in this area it is recommended she has dog savvy owners who are patient and prepared to continue working with her in these areas.
She is friendly to all people but can be protective as well depending on how you respond (i.e. She will have a little bark if someone comes to the door but if you tell her it’s okay and introduce them her tail will wag and she will be friends). She is a very good companion dog and would prefer an owner that is home lots but can be left alone when needed usually just laying sulkily on the bed for your return.
Lucy would prefer a home where she is the only dog as she can be a bit jealous at times. When coming in to care she seemed to have very little socialisation with other dogs but she has been meeting a variety whilst in care and improving, this is something that would need to be continued when adopted also. She loves going for walks and whilst she doesn’t go stir crazy when she doesn’t have one she will sometimes get sooky so she would love someone who is prepared to take her for a walk most days even if it is just around the block. She knows a variety of words and commands as she is a smart girl, these include sit , stay , wait , lay down, “go wee wee’s” , shake , come here , in your bed (although she often tries to play dumb with this one) and more! With Lucy you will find yourself a forever friend. Lucy is located in Toowoomba, QLD.

Adoption details
ADOPTION:
To meet, adopt or find out more details on this animal, please fill in our adoption application at our website- http://www.safehavenanimalrescueinc.com
Completing this application form does not place you under any obligation to adopt.
Safe Haven Animal Rescue Inc have a 10 day trial/settling period, if for any reason the pet needs to be returned, we will happily take them back into our care once a foster home is found and the adoption fee minus $50 (admin fee) will be returned via bank transfer within 5 working days. If the pet is returned after the trial period there will be no refund made.
ADOPTION PROCESS:
1. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
2. 'Meet & Greet' with the animal and their carer will then take place. You must bring your current dog along to the meet and greet if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption. If meeting a cat we do not recommend brining your current dog/cat as this may stress the cat/kitten out.
3. The animal MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGED (travelling over a 2 hr round trip), we will NOT ACCEPT the animal to be taken on the day if less then 2 days notice is given. If prior arrangement is made, an adoption agreement/s and payment must be made before collection of the animal.
4. 10 day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from foster carer.
5. Adoption is finalised after 14 days and paperwork is sent via email.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
