Description:

MARS received an urgent plea to help two senior dogs who were being left outdoors to fend for themselves way up north. Our amazing team of volunteers acted quickly to get these two out of the elements and to the cities.  We know they were loved and cared for until dad passed away and the adult kids cleared out the home and left them behind.

Lucette thinks she is a lap dog and is always eager to cuddle and get pets. She loves playing fetch. I usually tire out before she does! She isn't much of a fan of toys, otherwise. Lucette is such a great dog. She seems to know a few commands, such as sit, and lay down. She loves attention and will give you back so much love in exchange. She won't, however, hesitate to steal your spot on the couch!

Lucette has not had any accidents in the house. She doesn't always go when she goes outside, though, so she has a little learning to do to signal when she has to go. Lucette was a little hesitant at first to use her kennel. Now she will walk in when she gets her treats. She is very quiet and good in the kennel.

I have not seen Lucette around children. She is very calm and easy going and probably wouldn't mind attention from children. She is a big girl, though, and does a lot of jumping and doesn't really seem to know her size, so she may inadvertently bump over the little ones.

Lucette has been pretty good on a leash so far. We have been exercising in the fenced-in backyard, so we haven't been on any longer walks yet. Lucette is very quiet. I have only seen her get worked up once outside and join in on barking with the other dogs, but otherwise she doesn't make much noise.
