Lucy Loo

Meet Lucy Loo, an almost two-year-old Belgian Malinois from San Diego, CA, whose heart is as big as her loyalty! With her sleek black coat and intelligent eyes, she’s an incredibly devoted companion who thrives in a structured and loving environment.

Lucy is full of love, but city life has proven to be a bit too overwhelming for her. She’s looking for a calmer, less crowded home where she can feel secure and relaxed. She’s naturally protective and has shown some reactivity in stressful situations, so she needs an experienced and patient pet parent who can help build her confidence through training and reassurance. In return, she’ll be the most loyal and affectionate companion you could ask for.

This girl is smart—she already knows commands like “sit,” “paw,” “push-ups,” and “watch.” With her eager-to-learn nature, she’d excel in continued training, especially with someone familiar with working breeds. She loves chew toys, going on walks, and even climbing, making her a great fit for an active home with plenty of space to explore! A fenced yard would be ideal for her to safely burn off energy while still feeling secure.

Lucy is crate-trained and house-trained, and while she does experience some separation anxiety, she typically waits patiently by the door or on her bed. She’s selective with other dogs, so slow introductions are best. She can get uneasy around aggressive dogs and has bitten one in the past. She hasn’t had much experience with cats, so her compatibility is unknown.

She’s up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped—ready to start her next chapter in her next home where she can relax and thrive! If you’re looking for a deeply devoted and loving companion who just needs a bit of extra patience and understanding, Lucy Loo could be the perfect match for you.
