Meet the phenomenal Lady Bug! This extraordinary Patterdale mix, under a year old, has a story that could bring tears to anyone's eyes. You see, Lady Bug's life started in a terrifying way. One fateful night, a neighbor heard the terrifying crack of a gunshot. Curious and concerned, they bravely stepped outside to investigate. And what they found was unimaginable - a man, heavily intoxicated, had shot his own puppy in the jaw! Despite his threats to finish the job, the kind neighbor stepped in to rescue this sweet soul. With her jaw barely hanging on, Lady Bug was taken in, and you can only imagine the excruciating pain she must have been in. But here’s the incredible part: even in her darkest hours, Lady Bug's tail never stopped wagging! This fierce little warrior allowed our wonderful vet to stitch her up, showing remarkable courage. Fast forward a few weeks: after an intense surgery that fixed her jaw permanently, Lady Bug's resilience shone through! With just a few scars to tell her tale, she has made a full recovery and is ready for her happily ever after. ❤️ Lady Bug is as friendly as they come, bursting with energy that could power a small city! She's seeking an active home where she can shine, and let me tell you, she’d make an AMAZING jogging partner! While she loves everyone she meets, her exuberance might be too much for very small children. But older kiddos? They’ll adore her! As for her canine friends, she’s great with them too, though she’s still untested with cats. Lady Bug is up to date on all her shots, negative for heartworms (and on prevention), spayed, and even crate trained! This sweetheart truly deserves the world, and to bring her home, simply apply through the Buddy App! 🐾✨ Don’t let this incredible chance slip away — she’s waiting for a family to love her!
