Three years ago, we made the best decision in
deciding to adopt another ESS. Zoey then came to us and is the BEST dog
ever. She is not only beautiful but so well behaved and is loved by
everyone. We can't thank MAESSR and Debbie enough for giving us Zoey. Judy Minnick, NJ

Lucy 11's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original: “Lucy is a higher energy
level girl who LIVES to chase a tennis ball!”
Since a new baby came into her New Jersey family ten months ago, Lucy has not adjusted
well. She kept herself away from the
baby by self-isolating in her crate.
Lately she had started chewing up the baby’s toys. At ten
months the baby is starting to move around and is interested in Lucy, so the
difficult decision was made to let her go to MAESSR.
Lucy is a higher energy
level girl who LIVES to chase a tennis ball! She will play for
hours. And, best of all, she is very good at bringing it back so her
person can throw it again. Besides burning off energy playing ball, Lucy LOVES
to swim and will swim in anything--- a creek, pool, or even a puddle. Although
she is good with other dogs, she doesn't like roughhousing with them. Lucy thinks cats are fair game for chasing so
her forever home should be cat-free.
Because Lucy is a bit
anxious, her foster mom started her on an inexpensive supplement to help with
her anxiety. She is doing much better now. Lucy was good
at her vet appointment until it was time for her ears to be examined. She is not a fan of having her ears messed
with probably because of frequent ear infections. The vet found that Lucy
did have a bad ear infection for which she is being given antibiotics. She is also fussy with having her nails trimmed.
Her foster mom would recommend using a muzzle on Lucy when doing either of
these maintenance procedures.
Although Lucy has been fine
with the adults she has met, she prefers to meet new people on her own rather
than being approached. She is okay with
the kids playing in the neighborhood.
Her original owner said she might have submissive urination if one tries
to get her out of her crate. She also may urinate submissively if she
thinks she is in trouble or if visitors approach.
Housetrained and crate
trained, Lucy has good house manners and sleeps in the bedroom at night on her
dog bed. She is a very sweet girl that
loves belly rubs.
A smart pup, Lucy knows “sit”
and “paw” and walks nicely with an Easy Walk Harness. She will pull if her
leash is attached to her collar, though.
If it’s not time for a walk but a ride in the car is in order, Lucy
gladly goes for a ride. She is a good
passenger.
Lucy will make a
wonderful addition to an active family who wants their pup to join them in
walking, swimming, and playing ball.
Older children would be good in the mix but not little ones. A forever home is on the top of Lucy’s wish
list. Make her wish come true.
