1. Lucy
Meet Lucy! ❤️
Lucy is an approximately 5-year-old Red Heeler mix weighing in at a petite 26 pounds. This sweet girl may be shy when meeting new people and pets, but with a little patience and time to feel safe, her loving personality starts to shine! She’s already making progress and is now playing with the dogs in her foster home.
Lucy has some pretty special ways of showing affection — she gives the BEST kisses and loves to give hugs! She enjoys playtime, too, but she’ll do best with a family that understands her need for space and a gentle approach.

Because Lucy can feel overwhelmed by too much excitement or attention in her face, a home without small children or overly rambunctious dogs would likely be the best fit for her. She needs respectful companions who will give her time to warm up and allow her to feel comfortable at her own pace.
With patience, understanding, and lots of love, Lucy has so much affection to give. Could you be the safe, loving home this special girl deserves? ❤️
Lucy is waiting for her forever family at Charlyne’s Pound Puppies!
Please share to help Lucy find her happily-ever-after!

How to adopt from Charlyne's Pound Puppies
Families who want to adopt an animal from Charlyne's Pound Puppies are asked to fill out a 2-page form to tell us a little more about themselves. They will then be interviewed by two of our volunteers. This is to make sure that the animal is going to a good home, and that he or she is a good fit for the adoptive family. We do not transport pets out of state. The adoption fee is $100 for dogs, which includes a coupon for spaying/neutering if the animal is not old enough to have been spayed/neutered already. (These prices are subject to change without notice)
Adopting a dog in Harker Heights
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
