Lucy was surrendered to an Animal Control facility and she had lived with a family where she had known lots of love.  She does have some medical issues that make her a bit ‘special needs’.  Lucy has ongoing ear issues.  She has a lot of fibrous scar tissue due to chronic ear inflammation and infection. She hears but we are guessing that her hearing is a bit diminished. Although we haven’t been able to get access to her previous vet records, it is obvious that she has had surgery on one of her ears already and the other might need to be done in the future. Her ears simply need to be wiped out daily with ear cleaner and a cotton ball. This is probably a congenital condition and although it can’t be cured, with proper monitoring and constant care she can have a comfortable life.  Her primary goal right now is to get a job a somebody’s personal lap blanket.  Yes … she is a Velcro pup and she loves to be close to people she loves.  Do you need a constant companion who will adore you?

If you think Lucy might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org, click on Forms/Application and complete your adoption application online.

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if Lucy picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.
