Plenty of Pets
Lucy is a poodle mix who is about 10 years old and weighs 18 pounds.
She’s house trained, gets along with other dogs, and doesn’t seem to be interested in cats. She doesn’t mind being alone at home for a bit and is not destructive in any way.
Lucy loves to be close to her family and cuddle with them. She also loves to sleep in bed with her people. She loves going for walks and does well on leash.
Lucy is spayed; vaccinated, treated for parasites and micro chipped. She had a growth removed from an ear, and had dental work done, with four extractions. She comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch. Her adoption fee is $200.
