One of the best words to describe Lucie is resilient. The energetic 1-year-old mixed breed first arrived at Associated Humane Societies in Forked River, she was heartworm positive. Now healthy and happy, she's ready for a new start.

"Lucie is a happy, affectionate girl who, despite her rough start, always has a wagging tail and a bright spirit," according to AHS Forked River.

Ideally, Lucie would benefit from a home where she's the only pet. She'd also do well in a home with older children who "respect her space," according to AHS.

Volunteers at the shelter say Lucie loves to play, run and explore and would thrive with a family willing to give her plenty of exercise and attention. She's described as loving, loyal, affectionate and she loves to be the center of attention.

Lucie is spayed and up to date on all her shots. Anyone interested in meeting her and possibly giving her a new home can fill out an application online at ahscares.org/adopt.
