Lucita

Meet Lucita!<br/><br/>Or as her fosters call her Lucy/Lucy Lou/Potato<br/><br/>Lucita made the trip to Minnesota from Mexico in March 2026 after being found with milk but no puppies.<br/><br/>At 3 years old, Lucita is a sturdy 27 lb "daschund mix" who prefers to spin through life- she's fully capable of walking straight she just prefers to spin. The more comfortable and relaxed she is the less she spins. Speaking of preferences- Lucita prefers humans over other animal companions. In her foster home she peacefully co-exists with 2 dogs and 3 cats- she would be fine joining a household with other animals but is unlikely to be a playmate. She tends to go into "mommy mode" and be the fun police when other dogs are playing. Another quirk of Lucitas is her underbite- because of the way her teeth lined up it was necessary to remove 17 teeth. She is still able to eat kibble and treats now that she is fully healed- though she does love wet food...or really all food..she's not picky!<br/><br/>Lucita is perfectly content to curl up on the couch with you or in your bed but she will also accompany you on walks. She is semi-potty trained- as long as you stick to a routine accidents are minimal, though with focused attention she can definitely be fully potty trained. She quiets down in her kennel and rides well in a car. Lucita excels at telling you when you aren't giving her enough attention- she will stare at you and give a little whine. When playtime hits she can get a little spunky and will do adorable hops and pounce on toys- she can get a little mouthy so older children are recommended although with no teeth in front now she mainly gums you.<br/><br/>Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:<br/>$450.00
