Lady

Hello hoomans! I’m Lady and I’m looking for my very own pack family. Despite being a wonderful mother to my pups, I was surrendered to a high kill shelter with my puppies and scheduled for euthanasia. Good thing Destination Rescue saw my potential and saved me because I promise I will make the very bestest family dog for my very own family. I love playing, especially with other dogs though plush toys are also really fun! I also enjoy naps and snuggles with ear and belly rubs and would be thrilled if you want to share your bed with me (my foster told me I have to ask my furever home with my pitiful eyes). I am food motivated and learning basic commands with a clicker at my foster house. I am a cautious learner, though once I know you are trustworthy (ahem, hello treats), you have a loyal friend for life and a smart student. I do not like being alone (and will vocalize a sad song to remind you) and prefer the company of another dog. While I am essentially house trained, I am still working on my manners (like keeping my 4 paws on the ground) and respond well to positive reinforcement. I am cautious and a little stubborn, so I do like to do things on my own terms (like with crate training) and I am making lots of progress on that. Lady is approximately 3 years old and weighs about 60 lbs. We believe she could be a mix of Carolina dog, Husky or Lab. We are guessing at breed and age based on the shelter's description, personality traits and vet suggestions. Lady might be a fun DNA test! I will make a great addition to a family, joining another dog and older kids who have time to play and walk with me while also providing lots of snuggle time. Lady is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas, but is available for transport to many locations.
