Hi, I'm Lydia. I'm a 3-year-old, 55-pound girl who has been through more than most dogs ever should, but I'm finally safe - and now I'm looking for a home where I can rest, heal, and be loved. When the rescue saved me from a high-kill shelter, they were told I was healthy aside from mild respiratory symptoms. But when I arrived at my foster home, it became clear something was very wrong. I was actually pregnant - something the shelter never mentioned - and within hours, I went into preterm labor. I lost the puppies, which can happen in dogs who have distemper, and I was rushed to the emergency vet for intensive care. Thanks to the rescue, I received the treatment I needed, and I've been recovering ever since. I'm a gentle, sweet, and sensitive dog who can be nervous in new places at first, but once I settle in, I do wonderfully. I'm great with kids and get along with most dogs as long as they aren't dominant. I will need a home without cats. I'm truly just a good girl who wants a quiet, stable place and people who will be patient as I warm up. After everything I've been through, I'm ready for a future full of safety, comfort, and love. If you're looking to change a dog's life - and gain a loyal friend in return - I'd love to meet you. To apply to adopt me visit www.cbmrescue.org
