Lucy Katy, STAR #1706

Lucy is a sweet, cuddly, and crazy one-year-old black tri Aussie. She is a boisterous and fun-loving adolescent that wants to be the center of attention. Lucy LOVES to play with other dogs and would do great in a home with another dog or two to play with and show her the ropes. Lucy could be an only dog, but she will expect her humans to match her energy and keep her entertained.

Lucy is a brilliant dog and needs a human (or two) who can work on training with her and help Lucy discover what she wants to do with her life. She has the potential to be a great agility dog or go the distance with dock diving but could quickly become your cuddle buddy on the couch (after a good walk or two). Energy is something that Lucy has in abundance, and STAR is looking for a family that will provide lots of exercise, love, patience, and training.

Lucy is crate trained and spends the night in her crate, but she will remind you that she needs to go out BEFORE you make coffee in the morning (or she will serenade you until you let her out). Lucy is house trained and prefers to do her business and come back inside. Before coming to STAR, she spent most of her days hanging out in the backyard, and she is eager to make sure that doesn’t happen again. Lucy will play in the backyard when other dogs are available to play with or when you bring a tennis ball launcher or frisbee outside to engage with her. Lucy has shown signs of being a water dog and would probably enjoy pool time just as much as you do.

Overall, Lucy is a fantastic dog. She is everything a 1-year-old Australian Shephard should be. But, could she use some etiquette and training? Yes, but Lucy will make sure that your life is never boring.
