Lady Bug is a Patterdale mix still under a year old whose start in life was brutal—she survived a cruel act of violence and a traumatic jaw injury. Thanks to a caring neighbor, Lady Bug escaped harm and made her way into rescue, where she endured major surgery to repair her jaw. Scars from her ordeal remain, but her spirit is strong and her heart is open. Whatever happened in her past, Lady Bug hasn’t lost her spark; her tail barely ever stops wagging. She’s super friendly and energetic, always eager to greet new people. Lady Bug would fit best with an active adopter—she’d make a loyal running partner or hiking buddy. She does great with other dogs and gets along with children, though her energy might be a bit much for toddlers—older kids make the best match. She’s up to date on her vaccines, spayed, house trained, and ready to start a new chapter. Rescue requires adopters to travel to meet her in person and completes a prescreen before visits. Give Lady Bug the safety and affection she’s always deserved. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
