About Lady

Meet Lady, a delightful 3-year-old black Lab currently in foster care in Knoxville, Tennessee, after being rescued from a shelter just before her time ran out. She’s a sweet, smart girl weighing 54 pounds, fully vetted, spayed, and ready for her forever home. Lady has a gentle soul and is house-trained and crate-trained. She knows some basic commands and behaves well on a leash. Although she’s dog-friendly, with her foster’s two little dachshunds, she'd do best in a home without younger children due to her size and playful energy. Lady has a bit of a fear of men, but she’s quick to warm up with patience and understanding. She’s coming out of her shell and excited to explore more of what life has to offer. An active home is ideal for her, where she can enjoy walks and hikes. A fenced yard to run and play in would make her incredibly happy. If you’re looking to give a loving home to a deserving pup, Lady is ready to bring joy into your life! Click apply to start the adoption process.
