About Lydia

Lydia is ready to embrace the spooky season with open paws! Much like the ghostly Beetlejuice, she’ll make her entrance once her name is called three times—so be sure to say it without hesitation. Initially shy, she reveals her sweet side as you earn her trust. Head scritches are her absolute favorite, and she’ll even lay flat on the floor to soak them up. Once comfortable, Lydia showers her companions with affection, head-butts, and those endearing slow blinks. Her past may be a mystery, but her future is unwritten. Will you help her pen the next chapter in her life by giving her a forever home? Interested in adopting Lydia? We recommend filling out a general online adoption application and visiting the shelter during our regular adoption hours to meet her.
