Lady came to us from the City of Houston animal shelter. We met her at our rescue ranch after she was pulled from the shelter. We could tell she was well spirited, but it was clear that she had been neglected. She played well with other dogs and enjoyed a medicated bath to sooth her skin . Which was irritated when she was first rescued. Since then, she has been on preventatives for the fleas and skin is looking so much better (fur is almost all grown back in). She really loves to play with balls and other toys, and she knows the command drop. We would classify her as having medium-high energy once she comes out of her shell, but with sufficient exercise and play she becomes a great relaxed dog. She is looking for a family to help her gain self-confidence and take her on lots of adventures. She is a bit vocal if left unattended in the kennel, so we are looking for a single or detached home, just to be safe. She is good with kids, however she does have a bad habit of jumping on people, so this is something that will need to be worked on. Overall, this black beauty will make a wonderful companion!
