Lady's a First Class Dog & Needs Forever a Home




Please contact Mila Parot at mila.parot@gmail.com if interested in adopting Lady and I will email you an application. Lady's awesome and needs a forever home ASAP. This is a rescue organization.
A stunning 2 yr-old, 48 lbs Lady was left abandoned in an empty apartment and taken to the local city shelter. Since she arrived at the shelter, Lady became a favorite of staff members and volunteers. Not once in her time at the shelter she showed any aggression. She was awarded the shelter's best and most prestigious behavior rating...NO CONCERN. This is reserved for those dogs who perform exceptionally well on their behavior test. One staffer described Lady as a "true princess", and we think she's absolutely correct. Lady is a first class dog - so smart and impressive; we know everyone is going to fall in love with her.

We rescued Lady from an overcrowded shelter and she now needs a forever home. Lady loves meeting people and give kisses whether you ask for them or not. She was seized when her owner was evicted. Lady has lost her owner and her home, and one fell swoop. Yes, she's very gentle and affectionate and is rather submissive with people. Lady is, well, a real lady. She comes quickly when you call her, and obeys the "sit" and "stay" commands. Lady enjoys staying at her caretaker's feet or hopping on the bench and sitting next to you to be carressed. She loves toys and plays with them for hours. She takes treats gently from your hands. She has a beautiful mahogany brindle coat and soulful brown eyes.

Lady had given birth to a little of puppies shortly before she came to the shelter. Her puppies were taken away from her and she's now protective around other dogs and cats so she needs to be the only pet in the household.

Animals Make Us Human



The best-selling animal advocate Temple Grandin offers the most exciting exploration of how animals feel since The Hidden Life of Dogs.

In her groundbreaking and best-selling book Animals in Translation, Temple Grandin drew on her own experience with autism as well as her distinguished career as an animal scientist to deliver extraordinary insights into how animals think, act, and feel.Now she builds on those insights to show us how to give our animals the best and happiest life—on their terms, not ours.

It’s usually easy to pinpoint the cause of physical pain in animals, but to know what is causing them emotional distress is much harder.Drawing on the latest research and her own work,Grandin identifies the core emotional needs of animals.Then she explains how to fulfill them for dogs and cats, horses, farm animals, and zoo animals.Whether it’s how to make the healthiest environment for the dog you must leave alone most of the day, how to keep pigs from being bored, or how to know if the lion pacing in the zoo is miserable or just exercising,Grandin teaches us to challenge our assumptions about animal contentment and honor our bond with our fellow creatures.

Animals Make Us Human is the culmination of almost thirty years of research, experimentation, and experience.

This is essential reading for anyone who’s ever owned, cared for, or simply cared about an animal.
