Arrival Story:
We were watching a local rescue's website quite frequently. Once we saw Lucy, we immediately filled out an application for her and we got to meet her first, among many applicants. We were mving into our first house and hoped the rescue would hold onto her for another week. They wouldn't, but luckily our friends took her in for a week. We even stayed over there to make sure Lucy would be comfortable and get used to us.

Bio:
She is quite the escape artist. She has figured out how to open the gate in the backyard so she now needs supervision when outside. She loves to be pet and will stare at you, nuzzle you, sit on your feet if you stop. She loves to follow her cat around and play games with him. She definietly is a sleeper. If you aren't paying attention to her, she'll go lay in the porch and sleep...or stare out the window at the squirrels. I'm fairly sure she is part Great Pyrenees. Lucy has the breed standard double dew-claws on her back legs and has a huge wavy tail. She doesn't drool much at all either.
