Meet the marvelous Lady! This delightful 7-year-old, 10-pound Maltese mix has a personality as bright as her name suggests! 🤩 With her soft, fluffy coat and twinkling eyes, Lady is ready to find a forever home that understands her unique needs and quirks. She thrives in a calm environment and has been lovingly described as dog selective, so she would do best as the only queen of her castle. 🏰 Lady enjoys the company of older, considerate kids (13+) and has a friendly disposition towards cats. Although she is housebroken with a consistent schedule, she can wear a diaper and use pee pads if needed. Crate trained and agile, she’s always up for a good walk, especially in a secure, fenced-in yard. 🌳 Now, let’s talk about those walks! Lady adores the great outdoors but might surprise you with her bark at unfamiliar sounds, people, or other dogs—this little diva has an opinion! 🗣️ She is easy to startle, so providing her with a cozy dog bed on the floor is essential to ensure sweet dreams without surprises. Her perfect forever family needs to be around often, allowing her to foster a trusting bond. Ownership responsibilities include regular grooming to prevent matting and engaging her in training consistently. It's crucial that if your household doesn't meet these specific requirements, please do not submit an application. 💔 The fostering team will prioritize local applications, as a meet-and-greet with all household members—human and furry—is necessary. Oh, and the love doesn't stop there! Dogs, like Lady, need time to adjust; two weeks of bonding with her new humans without visitors is essential to help her settle into her new environment. 🕒 Lady is on a little medication for her eyes and a seizure disorder, but she is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. 🌟 Currently residing in Philadelphia, PA, she is looking for a dedicated family who truly understands her individual spirit and needs. If you're ready to welcome this precious gem into your life and meet her requirements, please apply through the Buddy App! Let’s make Lady’s dreams come true! 🌈🐶
