Hi RAGOM friends, my name is Lucy, and I'm a seven year young spayed female. Let me tell you a little bit about myself... I've had some ups and downs in life, some would say that life has dealt me a few lemons, but I'm a glass half-full kind of girl, and I just know the best years of my life are yet to come. I don't like to dwell on my past, but let's just say that it started out pretty horrific. I was abused as a young pup, and and thank goodness I was eventually rescued from that environment by a wonderful couple, who taught me to trust humans again. I really bonded with my human dad, but then he passed away, and my mom really tried to care for me but we had to move to a smaller home and money was tight, so she had to give me up. I ended up at RAGOM, and have since met all kinds of really nice people, which is how I know that they're going to help me find the best home ever to live out my Golden years. The only thing is that I really want to be the only dog in my new family. You see, since the first few years of my life were so bad, I never did any normal dog things, and since I wasn't around other dogs, I never learned how to interact and play with them. I finally learned later in life that humans are good, and that they will pet me and love me and feed me and bathe me and cuddle with me, and spoil me rotten (which is exactly what I want!)... but dogs, I just don't really have a need for them, and the truth is, they kind of scare me. I try to stay away from them, but when they come near me and I can't get away, I have to act tough and growl at them to make them go away. And since I'm really a nice girl, I don't like to act that way, so it would be better if I could just be the only spoiled little pooch. I promise to give you 10 times the love you give me in return, because I will truly be so grateful for being saved... again! Even now that I am a RAGOM girl, I can't fully enjoy it... you see, I'm not in a foster home, because most of the foster homes have dogs of their own. We tried that one night and it didn't work out so well... I guess I really "acted out" because I was just so darn afraid, so I am sitting here all alone in boarding. I mean, it's a nice enough place, but I am surrounded by dogs, dogs and more dogs. Yuck! At least the staff here is really nice to me, they all tell me I'm the greatest girl, and everyone who comes to walk me says I'm so sweet that they want to bring me home, but for some reason, they all have dogs at home too! So for now, I am just waiting to meet the family of my dreams... could it be you? I can't wait to show you all the GReat things about me, like how I know my commands, and how I walk so nicely on leash, and how I love to roll in the grass, and to play just like a little puppy. I will pretty much do anything for you if you offer me a yummy treat, I guess treats are kind of my weakness. Even if I'm on walk and start to get upset by another dog, I can usually forget all about him as soon as you offer me a treat. So, that's easy enough, right? We can handle that together, you and I, right? Ok, well hurry up and come meet me soon b/c the Weimaraner down the hall is just driving me bonkers!Until then,xoxoLucy
