Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This shy gal is Lady (aka Lady Bird)!
She’s a very nervous dog who is looking for a patient owner willing to give her time and space to get used to new things and new people. Lady would love to have a space to run and someone to give her lots of scratches – but only when she’s ready of course!
Lady wants very much to be your friend, but after a long life lived in fear she is now very tentative. She needs time to get used to anyone new and prefers if you let her make the first move.Once she is comfortable in a new environment her playful side comes out. Loud noise or sudden movements startle her, so a home without too many people, no kids, and no cats would be best.
She is used to spending working hours and nights in her crate but would much prefer to be running outside. She’s still learning that her crate is her safe space and may whine for a bit upon entry. With her nose to the ground most of the time (typical hound!) Lady does pull on leash for the first 15 minutes of a walk. As she gets rid of her excess energy, she gradually slows down to a more reasonable pace but still wants to be in the lead. She is about 8 years old (although her grey hair makes her look older) but sometimes has the energy of a 2 year old!
Could this lovely Lady be the one for you?
