My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Ladybird! I'm a young bloodhound who is as sweet as can be. I am an affectionate girl who loves to spend time with people, giving kisses and great big hugs. I can be a little shy when I first meet someone, but after a few minutes, they are my new best friend! I love other dogs and play very nicely with them. Cats are no problem for me either! My energy level is medium, which means I love to play or go for a long walk, and then have a nice long snooze on the couch (hopefully cuddled up to my peoples). My breed is known for being affectionate and gentle, but sometimes we can be difficult to train if we are distracted by our nose. I'm a clever girl, and I would love to build my confidence and bond with my new family through doing an obedience class. I'm a hound dog, which means I am very communicative. If you want this beautiful lady to sing you lullabies, apply to meet me today!
