Lucy's story didn't start easy. She came to us as a prisoner confiscate with four other dogs, and her cropped ears and worn body tell the tale of a life likely spent breeding. But what Lucy lacks in a gentle past, she more than makes up for with an enormous capacity to love. This girl is a talker, and you won't hear a single bark from her, just the sweetest affectionate whines when she greets you, wants your attention, or simply wants to tell you about her day. She's discovered the joy of plush toys and puzzle toys, and watching her figure out a new challenge is pure entertainment. But her favorite activity? Finding the absolute comfiest spot on the couch and claiming it as her throne. Lucy is the definition of a couch potato who happens to weigh 80 pounds of pure cuddle.

Lucy is a dream in many ways. She's potty trained, an easy leash walker, follows commands well, and has excellent recall. Her Cane Corso loyalty means she bonds quickly and deeply with her humans, following you from room to room, leaning in for pets, and checking in on walks to make sure you're still there. She's consistently mellow throughout the day, making her an ideal companion for someone who wants a low-energy friend. We are working through some separation anxiety with her, likely a result of her past experiences. A peanut butter Kong helps keep her occupied for a bit, but Lucy would truly thrive with someone who can be present often or is committed to helping her learn that being alone is safe and temporary.

Lucy would be perfect for a first-time large breed owner, a work-from-home professional, a family with older kids, or anyone who dreams of a gentle giant who thinks she's a lapdog. She handles city life beautifully, coexists peacefully with other dogs, and would likely do well with cats. If you're looking for a loyal shadow who will greet you with talking instead of barking, who will make you laugh with her toy obsession, and who will remind you every single day that love and resilience can triumph over a difficult past, Lucy is your girl. This mama deserves a soft landing, and she's ready to show her forever family just how much love she's been saving up.
