What Donna does not know is that Sophie has invited three of Donna’s old boyfriends. Audiences will cheer as Don-na discovers that it is never too late to find true love. The show features 22 classic ABBA hits including “Mamma Mia,” “Dancing Queen,” “The Win-ner takes it All” and “Take a Chance on Me”.

Lucy is an adorable 1 1/2 year-old “pocket pit-tie.” She was rescued from a full shelter where she was overlooked be-cause she was so shy and scared. With help from her boyfriend Ricky (also available for adoption), Lucy has blossomed into a confident, playful pup. She loves romping and playing tug with Ricky and Rosie (also available for adoption). Lucy en-joys playing fetch and will even bring the ball back to you--at least sometimes. Lucy walks nicely on the leash. She’s an affection-

ate snuggle bug/lap dog. She’s crate trained, house broken and uses a dog door. She rides nicely in the car and is quiet. Lucy will do best in a home with another dog. This lovely little lady will be a wonderful companion for a lucky person or family.

Lucy is spayed, heart-worm negative and cur-rent on her vaccinations. If you’d like to meet this darling pup, please com-plete an application at www.legacyhumanesoci-ety.org and Lucy’s foster mom will respond within 48 hours.
