Lady

Meet Lady, a graceful and affectionate two-year-old Labrador Retriever mix in Edmond, OK, whose heart is as big as her lanky, long-legged frame! With her sleek black and white coat and expressive eyes, she’s the perfect mix of gentle and playful, always ready for a game of fetch or a cozy nap by your side.

Lady is a true companion dog, deeply devoted to her family and wonderfully affectionate. While she may be a little shy around new people at first—especially if her beloved little humans are nearby—once she warms up, she’s all about love and loyalty. She has a protective streak, keeping a watchful eye on children and making sure they feel safe and secure. But don’t mistake her protectiveness for aggression—this girl is all heart and has never shown anything but kindness.

With a natural athleticism and a touch of bird dog in her genes, Lady would thrive in a home where she has space to stretch those long legs. Though she’s never lived on land before, the thought of running freely through open fields sounds like a dream come true for this adventurous pup! Whether she’s chasing after a ball or just enjoying a leisurely stroll, she loves getting outside whenever she can.

Indoors, Lady is a well-mannered housemate. She’s spayed, vaccinated, house-trained, crate-trained, and even microchipped. She also knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” “lay down,” and “bed.” She enjoys having food available to graze as she pleases and is perfectly content when left home alone for a few hours. At night, she’s more than happy to share a bed with her humans, snuggling up for a restful sleep.

Lady gets along well with cats and is selective about other dogs—she prefers polite introductions and tends to avoid aggressive or overly dominant canine personalities. While she’s never had formal obedience training, she’s intelligent and eager to please, making her a great candidate for continued learning.

Could your family be the one to give this sweet, loyal girl her next loving home? If you’re looking for a protective yet gentle companion who will adore you endlessly, reach out to learn more about Lady!
