Duluth Rescue Dog Needs A Home Despite Being Not Photogenic

I was checking my e-mail last night when I saw our usual Tuesday evening e-mail from Nicole at Animal Allies. She always sends us the featured pet of the week that we will discuss on Wednesday mornings.

Her e-mail simply said:

This week we’ll be talking about Lucie!
While she’s not our most photogenic girl, she’s super sweet and ready to find a loving family!

I clicked the link and saw the photo pop up right away.

Those big blue eyes! As Nicole says, she has beautiful eyes, but they do kind of pop out at the camera. Lucie is super sweet, fun, and energetic. They love her at the shelter, but they want her to find her forever home. Also, people might be scrolling past Lucie in favor of cuter dogs.

I think Lucie is just fine, and cute in her own way. I have looked hoodwinked in plenty of photos before, and I'm not the most photogenic person either. I get it, girl.

Animal Allies isn't sure what breed she is. Their best guess is a Catahoula Leopard dog mix, but Nicole says this is the perfect dog to get a doggy DNA test. They aren't expensive, and you can find out their breed.

Lucie would be a good fit for an active home. She's just a year and a half old and needs her playtime! If you are interested, you can find her on the Animal Allies website or by visiting them at 4006 Airport Road in Duluth.
