Meet Lady. ❤️

Lady is a beautiful Collie mix we estimate to be around 2 to 4 years old, and after 18 days with us, we have gotten a pretty good look at both her sweet side and the things her future home should know.

It is very clear that Lady belonged to someone before coming to the shelter. She arrived in excellent body condition, with a well-kept coat, and she even has a spay tattoo. Unfortunately, we were not able to find a microchip.

Lady is affectionate, people-oriented, and appears to be potty trained.

She can be anxious in a kennel, and a basic wire or plastic crate is probably not going to be enough for this girl if her future home plans to crate her. She does much better when she has room to settle and does not feel confined.

With other dogs, Lady is selective.

She has done well with the smaller dogs here, but she and Sparkles have not been a good match. At this point, we are not sure whether Lady is uncomfortable with larger dogs in general or whether those two simply do not like one another.

During play, Lady can sometimes overcorrect another dog, but she also shakes things off quickly and does not hold a grudge. Because of that, any future canine roommate would need to be a thoughtful match rather than assuming she will enjoy every dog she meets.

We have not tested her with cats.

For her human family, we think Lady would do best in a home with adults or older teenagers. She is a sweet girl, but she would likely appreciate a household that can read her body language, give her structure, and let her settle in without too much chaos.

Lady has already spent 18 days waiting for someone to choose her.

She is spayed, appears house trained, loves people, and has clearly known what it means to be someone’s dog before.

Now she just needs someone to make her theirs again. ❤️
