Lady

#12-151 Lady, age 10

AVAILABLE SOON - HW POSITIVE -

“What a good girl!” That about sums up this seniorish sweetie pie.

Lady had at least two former owners prior to arriving in GRR care. Rumor has it (according to the second, surrendering owner) that Lady’s first owner of many years trained her as a search-and-rescue dog; but when she had to move into a small apartment, she couldn’t bring her dog, too. Enter the second owner, who had Lady for just about 2 1/2 years—at which point he and his family moved out of state on very short notice, just in time to call GRR intake. He admitted she hadn’t been to the vet the whole time they’d had her, and they’d let her training slide after acquiring another puppy. So Lady was long overdue for her shots—and heartworm positive, to boot.

Other than these health issues and a little limp attributed to arthritis, she’s kinda perfect! Lady is on the small side but stocky and sturdy. And she doesn’t come when she’s called because she’s very deaf. This doesn’t appear to bother her – unlike other deaf dogs who startle easily when you “sneak up” on them.

We’ve only had Lady a week, but I already know some of the things she LOVES:

* Car rides

* Brisk walks in the cool air

* Cozy corners

* Little kids

* Treats & food

Things she can take or leave:

* Other dogs

* Cats (ho hum)

* Toys & balls

All things considered, this little Lady is not a tramp, but a honey!
