LUCY Beagle Young Female

Location:

Pittsburgh, PA

Description:

Lucy is a beautiful, young red and black tri-color Beagle. I believe she had a very rough start to her young life and she had a challenging time during her first weeks of adjusting to life as a foster in our home. She was extremely fearful of us but seemed to gain her confidence by following our dogs around. But with time, patience, a thunder shirt, and a lot of love she learned to trust people again and started approaching us for attention.She has been around other dogs and people and did very well. She has had some children pet her and she was fine. She’s very curious about our cat but does not bother her. She looks forward to her meals now and eats without being fearful.She exhibited extreme anxiety in a closed crate so we let her choose where she sleeps. Sometimes she will sleep in a crate with the door open but she seems to prefer the dog bed at night and for naps. She caught on to the doggie door quickly and has had very few accidents. Her separation anxiety is much better and we usually leave each dog with a frozen Kong if we have to go away for a while. She is a quiet pup but likes to join in the welcome home chorus when we come home. She walks fairly well on a leash but her Beagle nose does dictate her navigation. She loves to run in an open field that is fenced with the other dogs. She LOVES toys and empties the toy basket faithfully every single day. She likes to do zoomies in our fenced yard and loves it when we play “chase” with her. She can handle short car rides but does get car sick on longer trips. She now has prescription meds for her motion sickness but we have not had the chance to try it yet. She is showing her playful, curious, and affectionate personality now.Lucy needs a rescue-experienced adopter who is familiar with anxiety and its signs and symptoms. She will do best in a home with a fenced yard where alone time is very minimal and another dog would be a big bonus since she loves to cuddle with our senior dog. She is a gentle soul who has just gotten the hang of “being a dog”.NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).If you have any questions or would like to adopt LUCY, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
