About this Dog
Looking for a smart, energetic companion who’s always ready for adventure? Meet Lucy, a stunning 3.5 year old, 55-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Poodle mix with the loyalty of a guardian and the heart of a hunter.Lucy thrives in the great outdoors—she loves stretching her legs in a secure, fenced yard and would be happiest in a home where she has space to run. True to her retriever instincts, she’s highly prey-driven and finds joy in chasing squirrels and rabbits. A country home or an active family who appreciates her strong hunting drive would be ideal.She’s deeply loyal and protective of her people. Due to her protective nature, Lucy would be most successful in a home without children. Lucy is crate trained, fully house trained, and knows how to settle down indoors after a good run outside. She does have a dominant personality and will try to assert herself around other dogs—so a home with no other dogs is necessary. Lucy loves to be around her people, enjoying scratches around her neck and ears. She'll often lay her head on your lap and gaze adoringly up at her people. Lucy has been working on her leash walking and has made incredible progress in recent weeks. She also follows basic commands well and has the potential to improve even more with continued positive reinforcement and training.What Lucy Needs:• A fenced yard (non-negotiable—she will chase wildlife)• An active household or outdoor-loving individual• Someone who understands and respects her prey drive• A home without small pets or livestock• A family without other dogs• An experienced dog owner who can provide structure and continued training Lucy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and ready to meet her forever person. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent dog with a bold spirit, Lucy may be your perfect match.Available for adoption starting 5/11/2025 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL#16182

Adopt Lucy and Receive Lucy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Lucy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Lucy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Lucy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Lucy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Lucy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Lucy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Lucy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Lucy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
