Lydia

Lydia is the sweetest land seal (and LOVE BUG) on the planet. Lydia goes from K9 to land seal in a nanosecond. K9's are so loving, forgiving, and rescued dogs somehow know when they are rescued and that they are finally "safe." Lydia is a perfect example of K9's resilience and their pure unconditional love. Let's get Lydia's "carfax" out of the way because no one likes to hear a sad puppy story. This PERFECT angel was found as a stray in North Carolina. The scars that she had on her face were from her escaping capture when animal control tried to "catch" her. She was more than likely escaping capture to make sure she did not go back to where she came from. She knew she deserved more than what life gave her in her first 1-2 years. In spite of a less than optimal first few years of her life, she is 100% love. Not a mean bone in her sweet body. Lydia is truly a volunteer FAVORITE. In her short time with us, we watched her trust grow right in front of our eyes. She can be shy as humans clearly let her down in the past. While it is great to meet a dog and instantly see their demeanor and lovely personality, Lydia needs patience and a little time to get to know her FURever family. She is a ROCKSTAR, and she showed her sweet personality almost instantly once at the rescue but anyone meeting her needs to know she just needs to feel safe and she will -- a little patience, sprinkled with unconditional love = perfection. A few words from Lydia the love bug/land seal herself: I am a shy girl, but I am all love once I know I am safe. I trust quickly but I ask for your patience. I also love walks, but I also thoroughly enjoy chilling with my humanz. I am sweet and I walk well on a leash. I am kind, loving, well mannered, intentional, mindful, graceful, and very smart. I love learning new tricks and I LOVE treats (I mean -- who doesn't). I will thrive in a home without children as their quick movements make me nervous. I can be dog social and I am not reactive to dogs while out on walks and I do fine meeting dogs on leash. "I was in a foster home for a little while, and the volunteers saw that I would be more happy being the only dog in a home. I just want to be the one getting all of your attention at home!" I've never lived with a cat, but when I see them I want to chase them, so I would prefer a home without them either. If you are looking for a best friend, I am your girl. Let's rescue each other. All I want in this life is to love unconditionally and to receive the same. I have so much love to give!
