About Ld

Ld is a dog that requires time and commitment to build a bond. He isn’t one to trust instantly; expect to work with him patiently to earn his affection and respect. His journey hasn’t been easy. After being surrendered to a shelter, he spent six months missing the training and socialization he needed. When he was adopted, no progress was made, leading to his return. Now, at eight years old, he’s at a rescue facility in West Richland, WA, where he’s learned to thrive with those he trusts. His ideal adopter would have experience and the patience to help him feel safe in his environment. Despite his challenges, Ld is an affectionate companion who loves cuddling and basking in the sun. He enjoys outdoor activities and plays fetch, though he can be reactive to strangers and should meet them with care. He is crate trained and understands his place in the home. With an adoption fee of $300, this wonderful pup is ready for a loving, experienced home that will appreciate his unique personality. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
