ADOPTED!!!
UPDATE
Lacy headed home to start a new life with her new family this week.
She has already made friends with the resident cat and they're teaming up to
outsmart their human companions. Good luck, Lacy!!
Week 12
Lacy spent the last week brushing up on all her skills. She has a few
families interested in adopting her and she wants to be top notch for them!
She practiced all of her basic obedience skills and even played on the
agility course a bit. She has a visit to the vet scheduled for next
week to check up on some things and we know they'll all love her just as
much as we do. She's quite a charmer! We're all keeping our paws
and fingers crossed that this will be Lacy's lucky week!
Week 11
Lacy has a charm that's hard to resist. Her handler learned that this
week after realizing just how tightly she had wrapped him around her little
paw! Lacy rediscovered her love of the game fetch this week! She
likes it best when she gets to choose the red, fuzzy bone from her stash of
toys and take it outside with her. She's also rediscovered the joys of
being part of the pack again. She now gets along with all of the other
dogs, except for Oliver. His size just scares the daylights out of her
even though he's never been anything but a perfect gentleman. She
adores the Eskie Brigade and has developed quite a little friendship with
Tina as well. This little girl has come a very long way and we just
couldn't be prouder of her. Way to go, Lacy!
Week 10
Still no home for beautiful Lacy. She's not letting it get her down
though. She is keeping up with her studies, enjoying the unseasonably
warm temperatures with her canine companions and continuing to wrap her
handler around her small paws. He's smitten and so are we. We
can't get over the fact that she hasn't been snatched up yet. She has
a wonderful temperament and would be an excellent choice for anyone wishing
to do therapy work, reading programs with school children or social visits
to just about anywhere! She's a jack of almost all trades and as soon
as some dear soul is able to look past her graying whiskers and see the
lovable creature that we see every day we know they'll never look back.
She'll make a wonderful companion and dear friend to someone and we hope
that someone is reading her journal this week!
Week 9
Lacy is making great strides. She has befriended all of the Eskies,
even Sadie!! Sadie used to bark constantly at Lacy which annoyed her
to no end, but the two have found some common ground and are enjoying each
other's company. Lacy continues to do extremely well with her training
and is much adored by everyone who has the good fortune to cross paths with
her. She always has a a wagging tail to start the day and loves to
share her joy for life with everyone who passes by. Now it's time
for someone to return some of that joy and open their home to her so that
she can get started on the rest of her life.
Week 8
Two months and still no special someone for beautiful Lacy. She's well
behaved, gentle in nature, sweet as they come and a beautiful girl but still
she waits. Lacy would love a home with people to love and snuggle,
cats for companion and lots of lap time. She is a dear soul who has
gotten the short end of the stick in just about every aspect of her life.
Now she has all of her paws crossed that someone will read about her here
and decide that she is just the perfect match. Knowing Lacy, it's hard
to imagine why she doesn't have a long list of potential adopters.
Maybe it's her age, but we think that an older, mellow dog is just a
fabulous companion. Maybe it's her graying whiskers, but we think
those just add a little beauty. Maybe her match just hasn't seen her
yet. Maybe today!!
Week 7
Lacy is beautiful in every way you can think of. She is just a doll
with people, always willing to offer a wagging tail and some happy, doggie
kisses. She loves to play with her handler and continues to learn the
joys of playing with the other dogs. Some days, she gets along great
with all of her canine pals. Other days, when the scariness of her
past creeps in, she struggles in her canine relations. But, the great
news is that she is always responsive to her handler and she gets over the
bumps and starts fresh every day. She is an extremely loving dog and
so deserves a home of her own where someone will love and appreciate her.
She adores cats and is wonderfully behaved around them so if you're looking
to add a canine friend to your feline pack...Lacy is definitely one to
watch!
Week 6
Lacy received straight A's from her handler this week! She still has
some lessons to learn, but she has made great progress. She is an
absolute love with all people, but other dogs can be a little bit of a
challenge to her sometimes. But, the good news is that she and her
handler have come to an understanding about good canine manners and she's
well on her way to being a good pack member. She walks really well on
her leash and has even learned a few new tricks this week. Who says
you can't teach an older dog new tricks??
Week 5
Five weeks and still not one email about Lacy! It must be the grey
whiskers that we find so adorable or the number nine. Of course, no
one has ever told Lacy that she's an "older dog." She romps and plays
with all of the other pups. Then, like any lady, she settles in for a
nice afternoon nap before dinner. She's a wonderful girl with lots of
love to give. She is laid back, excellent with cats, good with other
dogs and simply adores people of all ages! We really hope that there
is a person or family out there who will look past the numbers and the
whiskers and see the beautiful gem that is Lacy!
Week 4
Lacy is just a doll. She is as friendly as any dog we've ever had the
pleasure to know and her beagle nature shines through in her exploration of
every inch of the cell block. She loves to meet new people and never
misses an opportunity for a head scratch or an ear rub. She's just a
truly, nice dog and so deserving of a home to call her own.
Week 3
Lacy had another fun week. She's not too sure how she feels about the
other dogs yet, but there's no question that she adores people of all sorts.
She never misses an opportunity to socialize with the staff or passing
inmates. She's very gentle and polite and would make an excellent
therapy dog where she could put all of those fabulous traits to good use.
She's walking very well on the leash now and also making good strides with
the rest of her training. She's a sweetheart of a girl and just the
right match for anyone seeking a mature, kind-hearted, loyal companion.
Week 2
Lacy is beginning to develop a firm grasp on all of her obedience skills.
She's very interested in learning and always has an adorable, quizzical face
when she's trying to figure out something new. Her handler reports
that she is very well mannered in the cell and absolutely loves her crate.
He leaves the door open for her so that she can go in whenever she pleases
for a little quiet time or an afternoon snooze.
Week 1
Lacy has fit right in to our little pack of prison pups. She's getting
along with the other dogs and making lots of new people friends. She
and her handler have been getting to know each other and having a great time
doing so. Lacy is always fun to be around and gets along with
everyone. She had her first training class this week and did an
excellent job relearning her basic skills. She's going to be a
favorite...we can tell already!
UPDATE
Lacy will be getting started on August 29th. She is sure to be a
favorite in the program with that adorable face and sweet personality.
She's a nine year old Beagle mix with lots of love to give. Lacy is
available for adoption through
Starfish to the
Sea Animal Rescue. We can't wait for her to get started!!
