Lady

Lady is so loveable & snuggable! When squishy face=adorable, you get Lady! Lady is a perfect mix of playful and well-mannered. She loves going for walks, playing with her favorite toys (balls, balls, balls, please!), and enjoying quality time with her humans. If you're too busy to play, no worries, just give her a ball, and she will keep herself occupied!

If you are up for some snuggle time, Lady is very happy to jump on the sofa with you to relax, read a book, watch a show, or listen to some tunes. We think she'd make a great sleeping buddy and petite enough to not take up too much room on the bed yet help keep you nice and warm.

She is always up for a walk, and she's extra happy if you stop and let her "smell the roses" or whatever is out there to sniff. She'll have her big smile across her face, her cute little gate, and her tail swishing side to side. Lady is also a car ride fan and happy to go with you wherever you go! Then there's couch snuggles and chewing on her favorite toy and call it wrap for a paw-fect day. She likes the water and has been found putting her toes in at the lake/stream. So she is a great go with the flow kind-of-a-girl with a smile that will light up the room and your heart! Honestly, she is just so adorable you will fall in love as soon as you meet her!

Lady has the most silky-soft coat. We guess it is from the mix of breeds she must be that makes it thick, soft, and kind of a velvety feeling when you rub her. And let's be honest, she loves getting pets, so go for it!! She will need regular brushin'; that's super easy!

She’s crate trained, potty trained, and would be a great fit for townhome, apartment, or condo living. Since Lady doesn't love to share her toys with other dogs, she'd do best as an only dog or with a male dog that doesn't care much about toys. In her foster home, Lady has 4-legged furry friends she pals around with and enjoys their company.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and snuggly best friend, Lady is ready to steal your heart!
