From what I can tell, I think that a lot of people are under the impression
that a dog that fits in with their zoo would need to have grown up in said
zoo. Of course, there are plenty of dogs that are adaptable, and may even
have that sort of background, but people tend to not think of it that way.

Lucy moved in with us when she was 22 months old . At the time, the
cats that lived here were 5 and 15, my other dog was 10. Lucy pretty
much walked in, waved a paw to everyone, and asked where her bed and
bowl were. Talk about adaptive! I did bring my other dog to meet her
and then drove home with the 2 of them free in the back of my Explorer.
I crated her when I left the house for the first week, but I didn't
really need to. I just wanted to be sure and it gave me peace of mind.








Lucy has welcome several puppies and another cat during the decade that
she's been here, and she's always good natured about it.
