BIO: Lucy was surrendered by her owners in Tennessee when they fell on hard times and had to move in with relatives that would not let them bring her with them.

Lucy is a ball of energy who loves to play with her squeaky toys, play fetch and run after lizards. This girl walks well on a leash and loves to be “out and about”. Lucy is completely housebroken and will bark when she needs to go out. She needs a fenced yard where she can explore and play with her sisters. 

Lucy came into rescue extremely overweight and was diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome. With the proper medication, good weight management food and lots of exercise, she has gone from 27 to 16 pounds, a perfect weight for her. She will need to continue the medication for the rest of her life and takes it easily in a dab of peanut butter.

Lucy loves to be petted and have her ears scratched. She gets along well with my other dogs and is a sweet and loving dog. She runs and plays like a young dog and is a very happy little dog. This sweet girl will make someone a wonderful pet!

Our must-haves for adorable Lucy include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot or another dog to keep her company
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos
• Someone who is willing to help Lucy maintain a healthy weight

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten.

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state they are being fostered in. 

We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states.  If you have an issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.
