There is no doubt that Lady came to her foster mom frightened of the world. Poor baby, who knows what she went through as a stray! In a stable environment, she has blossomed into a loving, sweet and smart dog. She is learning to walk well on a leash, has learned to come on command and is learning sit, down and go to your mat. She is not a recreational barker but will alert you to strange sounds, which is not a bad thing. She loves other dogs and is not toy or food aggressive. Good news it that she is house trained and although she has long hair she does not shed much. She has the most beautiful marking and long legs. She will remind you of the Sphinx when she is laying down. Lady will jump for joy when she sees you and likes to sit close to you on the couch. Adopt this sweet rescue dog and she will end up being a very loyal friend. Lady still needs patience, as she still can be easily startled and is shy around people she does not know. She is getting better every day as she learns to trust her world. Lady will be worth every bit of effort that you put into her!!!
