Lucy Chase Family Dog American Bulldog & American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Delta, BC

I love Lucy! And you will too! A perfect family dog, a perfect running buddy, a dog-loving-dog, a perfect work-from-home companion, a total cuddle bug, Lucy checks every box.

We think Lucy is an American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bully mix, but with rescue it is always a guess. Shes estimated to be around 2 years old.

Lucy is currently thriving in a foster home with her foster mom and dad, who describe her as a huge couch potato. Shes so lovable that one of our directors temporarily fostered her too, in a home with many other dogs and a thirteen year old daughter. Lucy is fantastic with kids, previously having lived with a nine year old and a fifteen year old. She even had a chance to meet four year old Kobe, another directors kiddo. Lucy and Kobe were fast friends, Lucy was so gentle and affectionate with him. She took treats sweetly from his hands, and even snuggled up with him in bed. See for yourself in her video! We think Lucy would make a phenomenal family dog.

Lucy is deaf, which comes as a benefit in many ways. Her foster mom says its great because she can get ready in the morning, make her coffee, tell her husband goodbye- all without waking Lucy. Her resident dogs barking doesnt instigate Lucy- and when Lucy had a sleepover with another foster, they reported the same! Lucy visited the rescue on a particularly hectic day, in the middle of a construction project and some seriously loud tree removal, she was completely unbothered by all of it. Despite her deafness, Lucy is a wonderful communicator. She responds to hand commands, takes correction well with a water squirt bottle, and checks in regularly with eye contact. Praising her is easy, she loves treats, and treats will always communicate good dog. Shes a very gentle treat taker, and she loves cheese!

The best thing about Lucy is her personality. She has the most wonderful, warm and friendly vibe. She regularly goes places with her foster mom, and makes fast friends with strangers. With dogs, its just the same. Lucy loves to play, and greets with affection and measured enthusiasm. Our director that fostered her called her submissive with other dogs, and Lucys current foster mom calls her respectful of other dogs. Weve never seen Lucy meet a dog she doesnt like.

Lucy is so good with other dogs that shes been used as an assessment dog- welcoming new intake dogs, teaching them that the rescue is a fun and safe place to be, and teaching us humans about the new dogs dog-to-dog behaviors. In one particularly memorable assessment, Lucys warmth and love went incredibly far to open up a shy and scared dog. He was panting, cowering and scared before he met Lucy, but once Lucy came out it was all play. If your dog needs an emotional support dog of their own, Lucy is your girl. Lucys playstyle with other dogs can span from calm and sweet to rough and rowdy. With playful, higher energy dogs shell play chase, but with our lower energy Great Pyrenees male she stuck to jaw-sparring and mellow wrestling. Shes just such a versatile dog! Lucy has visited dog parks, and enjoyed playing with the other dogs, and shes participated in large playgroups happily. Shes a doggy-daycare type, a natural canine socialite. A male, medium energy dog would be Lucys perfect doggy sibling match.

In her foster home, Lucy is such a chill girl. Her foster mom says she spends most of every day sleeping. She sleeps on the couch for hours at a time, wakes up, checks on everyone, and then settles at her foster dads feet while he works from home. Shell snuggle up with her doggy foster brother in bed. She loves to sunbathe in the backyard, on their outdoor couch, of course. When shes not sleeping, she enjoys playing in the backyard with her doggy foster brother and going on runs with her foster mom. The perfect running companion, her foster mom calls her. Lucy has good basic leash skills, and sticks by your side when youre running. Shell need a little practice with a new handler before showing you her best leash walking skills, but once youve hit that groove with her shes just perfect on leash.

Lucy is adorable in every way. She loves toys, but shes gentle with them. Shes uber affectionate but never too pushy with her kisses. She likes to snuggle, sit in your lap, and lick your hands and face. Shes so friendly with everyone that she meets, a perfect pup for those with big families or lots of friends. Shes also a total lazybones couch potato, totally content to just be your best friend.

Lucy is ready for her happily ever after! We think she would appreciate a home with outdoor space to play and sunbathe. Lucy is used to being left at home all day while the parents work at the office. Lucy could live with kiddos and pups, but we dont recommend her for a home with kitties. We are willing to test Lucy with anything you need us to in order to ensure she is the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescues hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
