Story
Name: Ladybug
Breed: Boxer/Hound Mix
Sex: Spayed Female
Age/Weight: 1 year old, 50lbs
Personality
Ladybug got her name because 1) she is a love bug, 2) she is an absolute lady, and 3) she has some big ol' bug eyes! First and foremost though, she is a lovebug. She loves affection and wants nothing more than to be close to her favorite humans. Get down on her level, and she'll try her very best to crawl right into your lap. She wants to be on you, soaking up every pet, cuddle, and butt rub you’re willing to give. She's an enthusiastic, happy girl who sometimes greets you with little bursts of zoomies because she's just so excited to see you!
Ladybug enjoys playtime, but if she has to choose between a toy and attention from her people, we suspect she'll pick her people every time. She's goofy, affectionate, and full of personality. When she's excited, she even tap dances! And those big eyes? They're only part of her charm. Sometimes her lips get caught on her teeth, leaving her with the funniest expressions you've ever seen. She's guaranteed to make you laugh.
Ladybug would make a wonderful family companion, but honestly, we could see her fitting into a variety of homes. She's an easygoing girl who doesn't seem to ask for much beyond having someone to love. Give her a person to call her own, and she's a happy girl.
Behavior
Ladybug is house-trained and one of the cleanest dogs at the shelter. She keeps her kennel spotless, doesn't destroy her belongings, and doesn't make a mess. She truly lives up to the lady part of her name!
She already knows sit and is eager to interact with people. Because she's cooped up in a kennel for much of the day, she can come across as more energetic than she may be in a home environment. When she's excited, she may jump up to greet you, but she tries to be gentle about it. With a little consistency and guidance, she'll have the opportunity to learn more polite ways to express all that excitement.
Ladybug has shown interest in other dogs. She has had one meet and greet with a similar sized male dog and did wonderfully. If you have another dog at home, a meet-and-greet is recommended to see whether they'd be a good match.
History & Health
Ladybug came to the shelter as a stray, but we suspect she had a home at some point. With her house training, tidy habits, and affectionate nature, she seems familiar with the comforts of life alongside people. However, no one ever came to claim her. Now, she's ready to find a loving home where she can trade kennel life for a cozy couch, the company of her favorite humans, and all the affection her heart desires.
Ladybug is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. Ladybug deserves a home where she'll be cherished as the sweet, silly, affectionate companion she is. Give her a person to love, and she'll happily give that love right back!
