My story

Meet Lady! Lady is a rare gem - the perfect blend of playful sidekick and easygoing cuddle buddy. This gal will match whatever energy level you’re feeling up to! Toss her a tennis ball and she’ll happily chase it down, but she’s equally content to snooze the day away at home while her foster mom works. Above all, she is super affectionate and just wants to be wherever you are, always close by to share her love. She’s dog-friendly and would make a great fur-sibling since she’s always up for playtime. She has been introduced to several dogs and did terrific. She was also in playgroup at the shelter. Lady currently lives with two cats and gets along great. Despite her feline foster siblings’ cranky demeanors, she just wants to be friends. She’s respectful when they set their boundaries, but her cheerful persistence shows she’s always ready to try again. She’s also wonderful with kids. She currently lives with a 6- and 8-year-old and does beautifully with them. Her foster home can get very loud and chaotic with the kids at times and Lady just joins the action or lays down and watches from afar – never bothered by the noise. Lady is still working on her potty training, but she’s making progress and learning more each day. Crate training is going well—she may need a little nudge to go in and let’s out a few yelps, but settles in quickly. She’s still figuring out what counts as a toy, but her eagerness to please makes her easy to guide. She’s more motivated by a joyful “good girl!” than treats and is picking things up quickly. Lady walks well on a leash and loves exploring the neighborhood, always excited to greet new people. She happily soaks up pets and attention from strangers like the social butterfly she is. Her signature move? The “boop”—she loves nudging her face into your legs to make sure she’s right next to you, wherever you go. If you’re looking for a playful yet mellow companion who adapts to any situation and makes friends everywhere she goes, Lady might just be the perfect match.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lady, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
