ABOUT LADYBIRD
Personality: friendly, playful, eager for affection, smart
Favorite things: loves playing with other dogs and relaxing with her favorite stuffed animal
Training: housetrained, knows basic commands, loves learning new things, and is very loyal to her person
Exercise: one or two neighborhood walks every day
Care status: spayed, vaccinated, microchipped
Special notes: Ladybird was treated for a serious case of bloat (stomach torsion) soon after she entered the shelter. The vet sewed her stomach in place so there will be no recurrences. She's a happy healthy girl!
THE IDEAL HOME
Best match: Looking for an active couple, family, or single person who wants a buddy. She’d do best in a single-family home with a backyard where she can play, learn commands, and smell all the smells.
Other dogs? good with dogs her size, prefers calmer dogs
Cats? recommend no cats since Ladybird shows a prey drive with squirrels and other small animals
Kids? good with school-age kids and older
