Lucy Lu

Miss Lucy Lu is Here!

Dec. 18, 2006

About a week ago our holidays were brightened when our last Amador dog, Jack, meet his new owners at the Feedbarn and went home. As always, we were a little sad to see one of our guys go, but we look forward to our next challenge. That was when Miss Lucy Lu arrived! She is a beautiful 18 month old girl that is very happy to be here.

Her journey here was not so easy, however. She showed up at the Amador shelter as a stray. On the one hand she was very lucky to be picked up and brought in. Not all dogs are this lucky and many meet a painful end. But Lucy Lu was not happy in the shelter. One day her mood suddenly brightened and her little tail came up and started wagging like crazy! It was her owner! But her owner had a change of circumstances and could not keep her, so the reunion was short lived and she was officially surrendered to the shelter.

A few weeks passed and she did not get any happier. Then we had an opening and the shelter staff sent her out to our school. At first, she wasn't sure what had happened. But she soon brightened up. Lucy Lu was especially delighted when she was moved to our largest kennel and outdoor area where she got to run and play. And, she got a roommate in our other Second Chance resident, Kelly. Lucy and Kelly ran so much that we finally gave up watching them and went back to work.

Lucy Lu is a mix between an Australian Shepherd, Rottweiler and maybe Shar-Pei, plus probably some other stuff, too. She is about 18 months young, very healthy, current on all vaccinations (including heartworm preventative) and is spayed. Did we say she is happy? She loves her training sessions, especially working in the group classes with the other dogs.

Here Lucy Lu is learning to heel and walk nicely on lead. Look at her expression... she could do this all day! She is also learning to sit and down when asked and hold her position, also called 'stay'.

So, if you are considering adding a happy, energetic dog to your family, please consider Miss Lucy Lu! She is ready for a new home where she will be loved and never have to run stray again!

Please give us a call at (209) 223-3194 or send an email to info@twincedark9.com if you would like to come and meet Lucy Lu. She would love to go for a walk and show off her training!
