Lady
Hi, I'm Lady! I'm a playful and medium-high energy pup that is affectionate with people and friendly with other dogs. I know a lot of commands and have a good recall. I'm great on the leash too!
Check out my video to see all the cool things I can do!
SAVING PAWS &
SAVING SOULS.®
We train shelter dogs in correctional facilities in Louisiana that become better adoptables or service dogs for Veterans and people with physical, emotional, and mental challenges.
We do not rehome or take dogs from individuals into our programs, as we work with shelters to help with overpopulation. Please contact your local shelter if you need to rehome or surrender your dog. Thank you!
We would like to thank the LA Department of Corrections for over 10 years of partnership and cooperation. We appreciate you!
