My personality

My story

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

Lemon was rescued from the euthanasia list by another rescue that then abandoned her leaving her hopeless yet again. When Lavender Run was finally able to have the previous rescue agree to relinquish her, this sweet angel arrived emaciated, battling kennel cough and with some behavioral issues that have been addressed. Despite everything she’s endured, Lemon’s gentle spirit shines through — she’s sweet, affectionate, and grateful for every kind touch. She will thrive as the most perfect, playful, snuggle bug in the right home! Can you be this sweetheart's final safe space so she can experience real love?

Lemon is professionally on and off leash trained. Her adoption fee includes 4 required follow up training sessions. While Lemon is super snuggly and an absolute sweetheart, she has some spice inside of her, it is important her new family understands how to properly handle these rare moments so this incredible dog can have the support she deserves.

Lemon will do best in a child-free and dog-free home.
