Lady is a red merle Cocker Spaniel mix who needs a calm, experienced adopter willing to put in the time and patience she deserves. After nearly five years in rescue, Lady has a history of biting and reacts defensively to new people and sometimes other dogs—she’ll growl if pushed beyond her comfort zone. She needs a slower adjustment period than your average '3-3-3' timeline and thrives in an environment where she can decompress at her own pace. There should be no children in the home. Lady's happiest moments are spent chasing a tennis ball, so if you can toss and fetch for hours, she’ll be thrilled. She does best as an only dog, though she can tolerate another calm dog or two if introduced properly. Her ideal match is someone who’s truly experienced managing challenging or fearful dogs. Give Lady the patient, structured home she needs, and you’ll have a dedicated, playful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
