About Lydia

Lydia is an 8-year-old spayed female Black Lab and Greyhound mix. Rescued from an unfortunate fate, she's now looking for a serene place to enjoy her golden years. Lydia prefers a quiet lifestyle and thrives in the company of older women. While she has her moments of energy, loving to run alongside a bike or chase a tennis ball in the backyard, she also cherishes her time lounging on the couch, especially with her foster dad. Despite her past interactions with other dogs, Lydia has become barrier reactive. She does best as the only pet in a home without children, where she can fully relax and feel safe. She's house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash, only barking at passersby or on alert. Are you ready to give Lydia the peaceful home she deserves?
