My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Ladybug, but my foster family calls me Lady. I'm located in the Hampton Roads part of Virginia.

I am a two-year-old blue Merle Australian shepherd. With one blue eye and one brown eye.

I can be a bit skittish, but who can blame me, I came from a terrible situation. When my foster family took me in, I was all skin and bones, plus I had parvo. Luckily, with some fast acting, we were able to make me all better, and I have been gaining weight.

Because I was forced to live in a crate for the first two years of my life, I am not completely potty trained. My foster family has been trying to teach me, but I think I would do better with someone who has the time to solely teach me. I have a foster brother and sister, and they make it a bit difficult because they want all the treats too.

I get along very well with my foster aussie siblings. It took a few days to warm up, but eventually, we were running around and play fighting all over. I love to be outside probably because I didn't really get to be outside much before. I have not been around cats, but I have been around a rabbit, and I thought she would make a tasty snack.

I love my foster human siblings( 3 years old and 11 years old). we play and cuddle all the time. Did I mention how much I love to cuddle. I turn into a puddle in your lap! I would make a great heating blanket.

My foster family thinks I'm just the sweetest girl despite the fact that I had such a rough beginning. I will need a lot of love and patience, especially with my potty accidents. They also laugh at my bark. They think it's the funniest thing. I love toys, but they do not survive. I also do great on a leash!

If you want a sweet girl that will be a couch potato with you but also loves to be outside and watch you garden, I will be your best gal.

If I sound perfect for you, here is the application:
