Lucy's Story

Lucy- Quiet, Sensitive & Growing Confidence :)


Meet Lucy, our gorgeous quiet soul; with a harsher start to life, Lucy can be a "slow burn" when it comes to trusting new people! But with patience and zen energy, she is an absolute doll to be around. When Lucy first joined us at the Bundy Shelter, she was badly underweight, but with time and excellent care she is in good shape now. Ms Lucy-Goosey can be initially wary of new people, but once trust is built and Lucy forms a connection with you, she will be your shadow!


What Lucy Needs:


Lucy is very green to being on a harness and lead- Getting her into the habit of going for walks will take time, and you absolutely need patience.


Daily physical and mental enrichment to help keep her mind active and encourage more confidence to bloom throughout.


A prospective adopter requires patience and understanding of an initially cautious doggo- Lucy needs a little extra TLC to start with


Where She's at now:


Lucy has come a long way since being in our shelter. But is still learning to trust people 110%... Going from not wanting to be touched or even looked at, to coming up for a small tickle is a massive achievement! Lucy responds gorgeously to positive reinforcement, loves food enrichment toys and gentle encouragement/handling.


Why choose Lucy?


She is quiet, a little shy but a total lovebug once she trusts you! She is still growing her confidence to not be scared of the world but has a heart of complete golden good girl! Lucy is waiting for her special someone or people to cherish her and give her the love she deserves and more!

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
