A perfect snuggle buddy, a loyal bestie, a perfect work-from-home companion, a total goof ball, and last but certainly not the least…she’s the gal with the cutest piggie-like face. Lucy Love checks every box. There is no question that Lucy is special in so many ways, but there is a quality about her that sets her apart from all the others that makes her so much more special. This sweet girly is deaf! Even with those adorable floppy big ears, girlfriend can’t hear a thing out of them LOL. Don’t let her hearing impairment fool you though, she is fully equipped with all the tools and skills necessary to help her communicate to those around her. Lucy is an adorable boxer mix who closely resembles a little piglet LOL. We believe she is a little over 3.5 years old and currently weighs 59 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We do know that she's the absolute best though! With her expressive adorably squishy face and the established hand commands she already knows (that’s right, she knows sign language), she is able to communicate beautifully. One of her hand signs that lets her know she is being the best girl ever, is “hang loose.” How cool is that? You get to give your dog the hang loose sign and Lucy will understand exactly what you’re talking about. Lucy went to professional training to learn all of these important and also cool tools to help her communicate and we go through all of them in her video as well. Watch her video and learn all there is to know about Lucy: Lucy is currently thriving in a foster home and they describe her as the perfect mix of a playful pup and a couch potato. Some of her favorite places to be are snuggled right up next to her foster mom as close as she can get and it’s the same with her husband. She also loves to sneak in a kiss attack too LOL! If there’s a will there’s a way with miss Lucy especially when it comes to kisses. Her snuggles are so good that we had to add it to her name because it’s more than just a thing she loves, it’s a part of her personality. She LOVES to cuddle. No need to worry about buying a weighted blanket or getting cold in the winter time because Lucy has you covered there. Also side note, it should go without saying how smart Lucy is. Where she lacks in hearing she definitely makes up for it with her wits and her phenomenal personality. Which is by far everyone’s favorite thing about her! When you first meet her and as you learn to communicate with her, her goofy, silly, outgoing and loving personality can take some time to really shine through but man once y’all are on the same wavelength, there’s no looking back! Lucy also has a silly goofy side to her as well. She loves to play with toys and will toss them in the air like she’s air bud, makes the cutest piggie type noises and grunts (sometimes snores), wiggles so much when she’s excited or happy about something that her paws almost leave the ground, and her expressive face is just something else. There are times where she will give you this look with so much sass and attitude that you can’t help but laugh at it. Especially when she “talks” to you when she wants something. So sassy but so sweet at the same time. Lucy is a character no doubt about that. She is dog friendly and is currently fostered in a home with an 8lb, 15 year old pomeranian, a 40lb, 1 year old pittie mix, and a 50lb, 3 year old black lab mix and gets along great with all of them. She loves to play, wrestle like she’s a pro MMA fighter, and loves their company. Just like with people, it takes her a little bit of time to open up fully around other dogs and will do best with slower paced introductions and interactions at first. Once that trust is built and she is comfortable and the other dog(s) in the home understand her and her personality, they will be besties for life. Lucy is also the type that doesn’t need another dog in the home to help her open up, she’s going to need time to adjust regardless. So if you don’t have other dogs that is totally fine too! She has enough love in her bones equivalent to 5 dogs combined. You’ll also see in her video that she has been around cats and has stayed in a home over night with a cat before. When it comes to cats and her relationship with cats, there are specific requirements that she will need to have if there is a cat in the home and the type of cat that is in the home. All of that information is also explained in her video as well. If Lucy had a report card separated out into categories of training ability, house manners, potty training, crate trained, leash skills, etc. she would get an A++ in every single category! There really isn’t an area that this little lady does not excel in. She would thrive in a home that has a backyard where she can sunbathe, play fetch, stretch her legs, and a cozy spot on the couch right next to you at the end of the day. Lucy is more of a homebody and likes the comforts of her home. She does enjoy going on adventures though she prefers the type of adventures where there is less foot traffic. She does great out in public, the common denominator in all of these scenarios is that she is with a handler that learns how to communicate with her, maintains structure and boundaries, is led with confidence, and is with someone who advocates for her. The consistent leadership helps her feel safe and allows her loving goofy personality to shine through. I mean, she is running on a slightly different operating system here LOL.
