LUCY ADOPTION PENDING

She is sweet and affectionate and would make a great buddy to go out and do things with. Ruthie does not want to be left alone at home for a traditional 8 hour work day and her future parents should plan on training classes or maybe even agility to keep up with her and keep her body and mind busy. She does well in a crate and walks curiously on leash but does not constantly pull.
