Lucy

✨ Rehoming: Lucy the Snuggle Goblin ✨
Spruce Pine, NC
Meet Lucy:
4 y/o pit/beagle mix, ~30 lbs of snuggly chaos
Nicknames include: Snuggle Bug, Lap Dog in Denial, Anxious Potato, Takes Being a Feminist Too Far
Completed a behavior-focused board & train at Wild Child Dog Training — and crushed it! You can see her on their social media.
The Good Stuff:
95% sweetheart: affectionate, loyal, obsessed with belly rubs + leg hugs
House-trained, crate-trained, toy hoarder, nap queen, and part-time personal bodyguard
Loves her people once she trusts you — then she’s all in
The Real Talk:
5% hissy-fit-throwing goblin
Anxious and reactive in unfamiliar situations/around new people
Lucy recently bit a family member during a panic moment (yes, serious — we’ll explain everything)
She was overwhelmed and tried to fight her feelings with teeth. (Relatable but unacceptable)
Not built for chaos, loud homes, or emotional unpredictability
Her Dream Home:
Calm, quiet, no children under 10 — maybe one chill pet (she loves cats!) or none at all
She would love someone dog-savvy and ready to continue her training who doesn’t mind a weighted blanket with anxiety and a tail.
She prefers routine, space, and people who respect her boundaries (don’t we all?)
Bonus if you’ve ever said, “I get dogs better than people”
Extras:
Comes with food, toys, vet records, and support from her trainer
You get to skip the worst of the anxiety training because we’ve already paid for it

If you think Lucy might be your weird little soulmate we look forward to hearing from you!
