    The lovely Lucy is a 9-year-old Rat Terrier mix weighing about 20 lbs. Her big floppy ears suggest that one of her parents may have been a Beagle or some other type hound. Lucy is a sweet, loving, obedient, and loyal dog. She can be shy and fearful of loud noises, and new people, places, and situations can be difficult for her initially. Obedience training has helped to improve her level of confidence tremendously, and now she recovers from scary things almost instantly. Lucy is house-trained and well-behaved. She loves to be outside but is happy to look out the window or be in her bed inside, and she will always take a lap if one is available. Lucy has rarely turned down an opportunity to be cuddled and would prefer to sleep in bed with her people at night. She enjoys going for walks on leash and the opportunity to run and explore, taking great delight and never tiring on hikes and trails. Lucy gets along with other dogs and cats. If introduced properly to humans, she does well; however she does not tolerate being chased, grabbed unannounced, hovered over, or made to feel threatened in any way. She has learned to leave situations that make her nervous, but she will snap if her fear cues are not respected. For this reason, she should not be in a home with young children, who might not understand boundaries or recognize the cues that indicate Lucy is uncomfortable. This smart, eager-to-please sweetie would make an awesome companion for gentle, knowledgeable adults who can provide her with consistency and direction, mental stimulation, daily exercise, and lots of snuggling opportunities.
