You MUST submit a Best Friend Pet Adoption application to be considered for Lucy. The  application and additional information can be found at bfpa.org. 

FOSTER PARENT COMMENTS: Meet one of the Charlie Brown Puppies. Lucy had her first vet exam and vaccines on 12/3. She weights  8lbs 8oz and is 8 weeks old. She may be a lab/boxer mix. Lucy is ready to find her forever home and wondered if she could come and live with you? We are accepting applications now for this sweetie.  

She is just as cute as can be and has such a funny, adorable personality! She’s bouncy and playful.  We think she will learn very quickly with good training. She’s responsive and bright. Both she and her sibling Schroeder are coming when called.  They are making progress with potty training, using the puppy pads!  

Lucy also LOVES people and cuddling/sleeping in your arms. Heart-melting, soulful eyes and the cutest wrinkles. She loves playing with Schroeder and the fosters older dog. She will “talk back” to the older dog... like she’s a big girl, too! Woof! 

Puppies this young may not be appropriate for very young children since they will  play bite and nibble on hands and feet when given the opportunity.   

EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Lucy had a rough beginning to life.  She along with her 5 siblings and momma were brought into a rural shelter when they were only 2 weeks old.  The momma dog was in such poor health, she had to sadly be euthanized. A rescue group took the puppies and bottle fed them until they could were old enough to move into Best Friend Pet Adoption.  They are all in loving foster homes now and are looking forward to a much better life now.    Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.  

ADOPTING A YOUNG PUPPY FROM BFPA: Ideally you live no further than a 30-mile radius from the Triangle area of North Carolina, as you must be close enough for us to meet all the medical procedures we cover before final adoption. We may consider adoptions that are within an hours drive IF the adopter is willing to come to the Raleigh/Cary area for all medical care until Lucy is spayed at around 6 months of age.   We prefer to adopt young puppies to people who have previous experience owning a dog and live in a single family house rather than an apartment, condo or townhome. Puppies can be vocal when left alone and shared walls are sometimes an issue.  Any children in the home under 6 years old should have experience living with a dog in their home.   

NOTE:  Since Lucy has only had one vaccine, she is still susceptible to diseases. She cannot live in any multifamily dwelling without her own dedicated yard.  Any adopter must have their own yard and must keep Lucy only in their home and yard until the second vaccine in early January. She cannot travel over the holiday season.    NTERESTED IN ADOPTING LUCY?

Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. We do home visits to finalize adoptions and/or deliver the adopted dog. Therefore, we prefer potential adopters live a reasonable distance to the Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) of North Carolina.  All animals will be up to date on all  vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro chipped before the adoption  is finalized. Fee is $225 for dogs, $115 for cats.
