Lucia's Story

Did you lose your shadow? Or perhaps you just need a spare? Well, we have just the right solution for you! Meet Lucia, who goes by Lou.<br/><br/>Lou is a 6 year old, 60lb lab mix. She may also have some golden retriever or shepherd in her, but those are just guesses. It does not matter what ingredients combined to make her; the result is the sweetest, happiest, goofiest, friendliest pal you could ever hope to meet. Every moment with Lou is a celebration: she is happy to see that you are awake, stoked to go for a walk, excited to watch movies and cuddle, and ready to supervise your cooking projects and make sure no scrap stays on the floor for long.<br/><br/>Lou is currently in a foster home with two other dogs, cats, kids, and chickens. She gets along well with everyone, though she is still learning not to chase the cats, and she may be a little too interested in the chickens. Her foster feels that with more exposure she would be perfectly fine in a home with cats or livestock, especially considering she is super smart and wants to please her people.<br/><br/>Lou loves to play tug and fetch, and almost always has a toy (or a stolen sock) in her mouth. She is super happy playing with her people or other dogs, but can also entertain herself with a toy or two. She is crate trained, spayed, house trained, and up to date on appropriate vaccines. Lou is trustworthy at home alone, but would of course love to be your new sidekick, work buddy, worksite supervisor, or greeter at your business so that she can be with you all the time.<br/><br/>Lou is truly a “plug and play” dog, ready to meet her new forever family and get down to the business of loving them. She needs another dog in her new home, as she has never been on her own before. She'd be happy to join an existing pack, but she'd also love to be reunited with her brother and previous roommate, Zazie, who is also in foster with AHS.<br/><br/>If you'd like to learn more about Lou, please fill out a Statement of Interest on our website.
