Story
Lydia is still on the hunt for a perfect home. Very high energy, needs to be an only pet, not good with other dogs or cats (which is why she is needing a new home). Sweet girl, loves people, would need a fenced in yard as she will run and run. 2 years old and spayed. I worry about a home with small children as she has a high prey drive. Asking a small rehoming/adoption fee as I want to insure she goes to a good home. She's a good girl, just not suited for our home as we already had dogs and cats, and now and infant and I dont want her set up for failure. She was bottle fed by me from a week old so she is very loved just not the right fit, she will come with her crate blanket and toys. Message me for any more info!
