About Lydia

Lydia is a 7-year-old Boxer mix in Akron, OH with a heart that always seems to be set on its people. There’s something about the way she looks at you—pure adoration, no filter—and it’s a look you’ll start to crave. Lydia’s wiggly, smiley, and carries all the best parts of the Boxer breed, including a deeply affectionate and playful side that only grows as she bonds with you. She wins over folks of all ages with her patient, loving manner and will sit quietly for attention, sometimes offering a gentle whimper if she thinks you’ve forgotten she’s waiting. Lydia gets along well with calm dogs, though she’s equally happy as the main focus in a single-pet household. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and her time living outdoors in West Virginia has made her extra grateful for soft beds and regular affection. Lydia is spayed, microchipped, current on all vaccinations, and on preventatives. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with classic charm who’s finally ready for the easy life, Lydia might just be your perfect fit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
