About Lady

Lady is the type of dog who lets you in slowly—one day you realize she’s your little shadow, quietly devoted, gentle, and deeply loyal. Weighing around 30 pounds and about 6–8 months old, she’s dainty for a mixed-breed Rhodesian Ridgeback, with a short coat and an easygoing, soft presence. Lady comes from a tough background, so she’s timid at first. Give her time and gentle patience, and every tail wag and look of trust is a small milestone. She’s not bold or brash, instead carefully observing until she’s sure it’s safe. Once she feels at home, she’ll make you feel like her whole world, sticking close and looking to you for guidance. Lady does best in quieter homes with people who value consistency and calm—she’s happiest simply being near you, with no need for noise and fuss. She thrives with kids, gets along with other dogs and cats, and handles apartment living or daily walks with quiet good manners. Her adoption fee covers her spay, complete vetting, microchip, and heartworm prevention. All she needs is someone willing to give her the safety and devotion she missed before. Ready to fall in love?
