SANCTUARY DOGS
LUCY
Doberman
Female, 10+ years old, 75 pounds
Lucy is a white Doberman who was rescued from a shelter upstate. She was used for breeding, crammed inside a crate or tied up outside her entire life. When Lucy first came to us, she was terrified and shell-shocked. She was afraid to walk into a different room, never mind outside. She had to be carried to and from her vet visits. But with time and love, Lucy has blossomed. She gets excited to go for walks, no carrying necessary. While Lucy can be shy and timid in new environments, she is becoming more confident and adventurous with every coming day.
Lucy is sweet, loving, and docile. Lucy loves people. She asks for pets from every person she meets. She is also good with dogs, although they do make her a little anxious when they are rambunctious. While Lucy has come a long way, she still has a lot of learning to do. Overcoming a lifetime of abuse is no easy feat, but Lucy is soaring.
Sadly, Lucy was recently diagnosed with cancer. Because of this, she will not be available for adoption and will instead remain with us as a sanctuary dog, where she will be loved and cared for through the rest of her days. Although her time may be limited, Lucy is finally experiencing safety, comfort, and unconditional love.
