About Lady Raspberry

Lady Raspberry is a gentle, 2.5-year-old female German Shepherd Dog currently in Centreville, VA. She was rescued from a shelter in South Central Virginia after being found as a stray. Lady is mild-mannered and enjoys being close to her people, often laying on laps, seeking pets, and happily accepting attention. While she’s still learning basic commands and good manners, she’s eager to please and affectionate. Though she plays with toys and chews bones, her preference rests with the real thing. Lady has shown no aggression and gets along well with other dogs. She has a slight favoring of her front left leg, likely due to a previous injury that has healed but does not hinder her ability to run and jump. She enjoys short walks for leash training and would thrive with a patient adopter committed to continuing her training. As an adult dog, Lady is looking for a loving home where she can give and receive affection. If you’re ready to appreciate her unique personality, she’s ready to love you back.
