Lucy III

Profile

Lucy is a PB Golden Retriever who will turn 5 on December 1st. I am sure she would love to be in a forever family for her birthday! She came to RAGOM from a family who loved her very much but could not afford to take care of her any longer.

I am temp fostering Lucy before she heads to her permanent foster in IA this weekend. Lucy is a SWEET girl who has a fantastic personality. She managed my 3 resident dogs being growly with her initially and is now trying to convince them to play with her. She was playing with toys within a few hours of being at my house and seems to adjust well. Lucy loves to go for car rides, responds well to her name, is fully house trained, and has done wonderfully with the dogs she has met.

I brought her to the vet today to get her microchipped. She also had her nails trimmed and her ears flushed. The vet said it appears she has had ear infections often so we've got some ointment and ear cleaner to help clear them up. Lucy was a good patient while the vet checked her out and even while getting her nails trimmed. Otherwise, she seems to be in great health.

Lucy is quite a bit overweight. She weighed in at 87.8 lbs and the vet said her ideal weight is probably between 60-65 lbs. Her hips seem to be fine and she has energy so we should be able to get her weight under control before it causes any problems. So, no more free feeding for Lucy Lu.......it's time for a diet and lots of exercise. Luckily, Lucy loves going for walks and does well. She does pull a bit but I think she is just so darn excited to be out and about! Lucy also jumps up on people but we are working on this and she is a smart girl who wants to please. In fact, when she met my mom today she actually sat to be pet instead of jumping!

I am still working on getting a good picture and will send one in as soon as I get one!

Let placement know if you would like to meet sweet Lucy!
