Fee Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Lucy is a 7 year old Collie Cross girl who came into Oldies Club care as her owner had moved into a nursing home. Lucy is now in an Oldies Club foster home in Wheathampstead, Herts, waiting for someone to offer her a permanent home. Settling in: Lucy took about a week to settle at her foster home and she is fine to be left alone for a few hours. She has become a very happy girl in the short time that she has been there. Social skills: Lucy is fine with other dogs and so she could live in a home with other dogs. She has not met any cats since being in her foster home but it is thought she would probably be OK with cats. Her foster carers are arranging a meeting with a cat soon so we will update on the outcome of that. Lucy is good with children; however she might be a little lively for very young children. Out and about: Lucy is good on walks and comes when called, most times! She is also good on the lead. Lucy is a good traveller and is fine in the car.< Lucy's favourite pastimes: Walks; Sitting on the sofa being fussed; Playing in the garden. Dislikes: Lucy appears to be a well balanced girl and not scared of anything. Lucy's perfect home: With an active older person, where she doesn't need to be left on her own too much. She needs plenty of exercise — two or three long walks a day. At present she gets about 6 miles a day. Health notes: Lucy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated. She is currently being treated for a skin condition but this has improved immensely in the short time that she has been in her foster home. She currently has a bath twice a week with prescription shampoo but this may be only needed once a week from now on as she has made good progress. The condition is under control and the vet says it may disappear as it may be caused by an allergy. She is no problem to bath; in fact she seems to quite enjoy it. She has ointment for her ears as they have been quite sore, but have improved now. Foster carer's summary of Lucy: Happy; Loving; Good company; Sweet natured. ————- If you can offer Lucy a permanent home, please refer to our Adoption Procedures for information about the adoption process.
