Adopt Lucy a Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White) Australian Shepherd / Mixed

Location:

Springfield, IL

Description:

COURTESY - Chamaign, IL - owners contact info is at the bottom of the bio Meet Lucy! Lucy is an energetic, 7-year old, 30-pound black tricolor bob tail miniature Australian Shepherd female. Who could resist that adorable face? She is SLOW to trust, but once she trusts her humans, she is velcro! She will bond quickly to her person, but is very apprehensive and scared of strangers and new things. But Lucy is more than good looks. She may not be a perfect angel, but she IS fiercely loyal to her humans. She loves constant attention and to cuddle up with her humans. She loves being outside, but must be in a fenced yard. She has had some professionaltraining and does well on her walks. She knows her basic commands. She would do best in a home with no small children or other pets. Ideally, a home away from heavily trafficked streets would be best as she is a very anxious dog. Lucy roams freely in the home during the day without any issues. She is very well behaved at the groomers and the vet’s office. Lucy, of course, is a work in progress. She has some protective instincts that need to be refined to be her best self. Cats and little critters are for chasing, so not good housemates. Lucy can be a bit resource protective as food and toys are her treasures. She is also very protective of her crate as she sees it as her safe space. She does well in her crate and sleeps in it at night. In fact, Lucy goes into her crate when she wants a little down time. She is being rehomed because she is very protective of her property and is herding small children away who come over to play. Homeowners live on a busy street with lots of children and it has become an unsafe environment for those children. We are searching for Active folks who love Aussie awesomeness and appreciate all that comes with an Aussie attitude - the joys and the challenges - are going to adore Lucy. We are located 10 min east of Champaign IL. Contact is Jennifer at XXXX@yahoo.com There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions.
