Ivy

Almost two years ago I lost the dog I grew up with to old age. She was my best friend and one of my closest family members. A year after her death (and of letting myself grieve) I decided I couldn’t go another year without a dog, so I did some research on the type of dog that would work best with my lifestyle so that I could make sure both our needs were met. With a few breeds in mind, I went to Lucky’s. After a few visits, I met Ivy. The first time I saw her she was sitting with her ears pinned back with big puppy dog eyes begging to be adopted. I asked if I could spend some time with her they brought her out, she was so sweet and polite.

I talked to the staff about if she was a right fit for me, learning that she was good with kids and other animals. After that, I set my heart on adopting her. So I turned in an application and waited apprehensively. After a week I feared my application was denied, but the following day I got a call and was told I could adopt her! I went straight over there. I brought her home and my roommates loved her! It took her a little time to adjust, but I’ve had her for seven months now and she is thriving. She is so smart, sweet, loving, and my new best friend. I look forward to spending our future together.                                                              -Naila Roberts
