She is a 2 year old Am. Staff Terrier. We rescued Lucy back in May and discovered that she has skin allergies that she takes meds for. She is a great dog but tends to be pretty stubborn, she has escaped from our fenced in yard a few times chasing squirrels and rabbits. My wife and I work outside of the home for 10 hours a day. We think Lucy needs a family that can be more present. She deserves a family that can spend more of their day with her. She has done great with children and other dogs. We just want to find a home for her that fills her needs. She is beautiful, smart and curious and needs lots of love and attention. While it breaks our heart, as we have come to love her we want the best for her. If you choose to adopt her we will give you all her stuff: Crate, food, beds, toys and leashes.
