Meet Lucy 💜 Lucy is believed to be a Mini Australian Shepherd, and at just 9 weeks old and barely 3 pounds, she has already shown us just how capable a tiny puppy can be. Lucy is blind and mostly deaf, but she doesn’t know she’s different. She has learned her way around her foster home, plays happily with the other dogs, and is even learning to go potty outside. She is curious, playful, affectionate, and incredibly smart. But loving Lucy also means understanding that she will have lifelong special needs. Because Lucy cannot rely on sight or hearing to navigate the world, she must be adopted into a home with another confident, well-adjusted dog. That dog will become an important source of security and guidance as she grows, helping her learn routines, navigate new situations, and feel safe. A securely fenced yard will also be required. For Lucy, a fence isn’t simply a preference—it is an essential safety measure. She will never be a dog who can safely wander an unfenced yard or be trusted off leash. Lucy currently uses her mouth and teeth quite a bit to communicate and explore, as puppies do, so we are recommending no young children, especially considering how tiny and vulnerable she is. We know Lucy’s perfect home may take a little more searching. She needs someone patient enough to teach her through touch, routine, scent, and consistency. Someone willing to make accommodations throughout her life—not just while she is a cute three-pound puppy. But in return, you get to watch a little dog who experiences the world differently learn that it is safe, predictable, and full of people who love her. Lucy doesn’t need anyone to feel sorry for her. She needs someone willing to believe in her—and give her the structure and security she needs to thrive. 🐾 Lucy’s forever home must have: * A confident, friendly resident dog * A securely fenced yard * mature children * Patience and willingness to accommodate a blind/deaf dog throughout her lifetime Lucy is a good girl who deserves her chance. Maybe her person is reading this right now.💜 Lucy will come spayed, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and started on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.
