ADOPTED

LADY

Our Lady is a gracious Queen, who just lost her King. She was surrendered to us with her life long housemate, who recently had a stroke, and passed. Lady is feeling the loss, and would love to be part of family again. Seven years young, Lady's options are limited because it seems, as though everybody wants to experience puppy hell, and too few people appreciate the considerable benefits of having an older dog, who is well past the puppy mayhem stage.


Lady appears to be a mix of Yellow Labrador and Shepherd. She is a large dog, weighing 50 pounds, but could stand to trim down a bit through healthy diet and exercise. Her short flat coat is easy to groom, and is mostly tan with cream markings on her face and feet. Lady seems more like Yellow Lab in personality, in that she seems laid back, demure, and enjoys the companionship of her people. She seems to have a slight sadness about her, and is likely feeling confused and disoriented with the rescue process.

Lady has a very genial nature. She is a sociable dog, and while she has not had much background in obedience, she has grasped the basics and seems to enjoy the training exercises. She certainly is food motivated. Lady is easy to walk on lead, and has a moderate exercise level, although that could increase as she loses weight. Lady would be happy with a couple of leisurely to brisk leash daily, and a game of frisbee.

Lady would be a great choice for a moderately active single or couple, a recent retiree or senior. She could easily do well in an apartment lifestyle, and can be trusted home alone for short periods of time. She would really prefer a home where she is the only dog and can absorb all of her owner's attention. Lady could join an active family with older kids, but we think that she might be intimidated by the haphazard handling of young toddlers. Lady is a pretty good all-around companion dog, and needs to be in an environment where her golden years will be spent as the light of someone's life, rather than considered an afterthought.

Lady has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. She is in great health and has been spayed. She is slightly chubby and would be at an ideal weight of 40 to 45 pounds. We recommend a grain free kibble diet with added Omega fats and nutritious natural treats like pieces of apple, veggies etc.

Lady has been vaccinated for Rabies, DHLPPC (distemper, hepatitus, leptospirosis, parvo, parainfluenza, coronavirus), and she has been boostered as needed. She has had the 4dx test: negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. She has been dewormed, microchipped and is on preventatives for Heartworm and Flea/Tick.
