KateG@ESSW Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Lucy Age: 7-8 Sex: Female Location: Southampton Can be Re-homed with Dogs? Yes, Possibly Can be Re-homed with Cats? No Can be Re-homed with Children? Yes - Teenagers and above Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: No Neutered: Possibly Tail: 3/4 dock Lucy has been quite unlucky we feel, she was found as a stray after she was hit by a car and needed veterinary attention, luckily for her it turned out to be lacerated leg so she was soon taken to the council kennels, she was absolutely terrified of the kennels and this is where her luck started to change, the kennel manager offered her a foster home to take her away from all the noise and fear of the kennels where she started to see a different dog start to shine. Her carer has been doing a lot of socialisation work with Lucy as she was terrified of other dogs approaching her at first and would lunge and bark at them telling them to leave her alone because she was so scared, she is now able to walk past dogs without showing her fear and is improving with every day, this training will need to be continued with Lucy but we do feel she could be re-homed with another calm dog and this would even help her confidence improve. Because we don't know anything about Lucy's past we can't re-home her with young children but teenagers are fine. We also don't know 100% if she has been spayed but the vet that saw her recently is pretty sure that he can feel scar tissue from a spay operation, however to be on the safe side we will say we are unsure as to wether she is spayed or not and whoever takes her on must do so knowing that if she does come into season she must be spayed as per our contract within 3 months after her season. Lucy also likes eating plastic bags, we think she must have strayed for some time and has learnt that plastic bags mean food so any new owner must be very careful with leaving rubbish around and whilst out on walks. Lucy loves people and whilst can be a little nervous initially she soon comes around and likes nothing more than some gentle fussing and love to be shown to her, she is of a quiet disposition indoors but comes to life when outside :-) she has been crate trained and can be left for up to 4 hours very happily once she is familiar with her surroundings. Lucy is a very laid back dog that is looking for a home where she can forget her past and start afresh with a family to love and adore her. If you think you can offer Lucy her forever home please see our adoption procedures here: http://www.essw.co.uk/#/how-to-adopt/4531487733 Lucy is also on our website: http://www.essw.co.uk/#/lucy-louise-6910/4543730590 and Forum here: http://essw.freeforums.org/lucy-southampton-t157.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
