lady

Name: Lady
Nickname: Chocolate
Breed: Papillon mix? Long-haired Chihuahua? Anyone’s guess!
Age: 2 years est.
Sex: Female
Weight: 10 lbs
Before OMD: Found as a stray with bad cherry eye, which has since been corrected.
What we love most: Sweet, loving, cuddly, and just a really lovely little dog. She’s chill and affectionate with a fun, sassy personality that comes out once she feels comfortable.
What she loves most: Toys, food, people, walks, and snuggling. She especially loves plush toys and will happily take every toy out of the bin and scatter them around the house.
Cuddly or independent: Definitely cuddly! Lady loves sitting on your lap while you work and curling up with you on the couch, but she’s also perfectly happy entertaining herself.
Working on: Confidence with new people. She can be fearful and vocal when meeting strangers, but give her a few minutes and she warms up and shows you her sweet personality. She’s also working on stairs and becoming fully house trained.
Dogs: Great with other dogs so far and starting to play with her (small) foster dog siblings. No aggression or resource guarding.
Cats: Unknown but we suspect she would be just fine
Kids: Dog-savvy 8 + please since she can be fearful
House trained: About 75% there and continuing to improve.
Crate trained: Will tolerate the crate; recently graduated from the crate overnight to sleeping in the bed.
You should also know: Lady’s mischievous side is coming out. She has figured out how to open cabinets and closed doors and has recently discovered the garbage.

Lady is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She can be adopted to residents of CT and surrounding states. Please complete an application if interested in adopting.
