Despite her adorable appearance, little Lucy is going to be a challenging dog for placement, as she came to us in fear and unwilling to be loved.  Her family, who had her for only a couple months after taking her in from another family, said she really only liked the man of the house, and he was the one she trusted for care and grooming.  Even reaching for her leash or collar was not possible for our volunteers, so we are very relieved that a foster home, experienced with dogs with issues like Lucy's, was willing to take her for further assessment.  We do feel that a rescue might be the best option for Lucy, and are actively seeking a placement with one that is willing to tackle her long-term needs for behavior modification and training.  Lucy may weigh only ten pounds, but this pocket-pet is most definitely big on attitude!
