Lady Whistledown is well-named because she is a lady of leisure. She is very gentle and always calm when meeting new people. She warms up to them and always likes to be near them and loves their attention. But she doesn't need it all the time. She's independent and completely fine with being by herself.

Lady is very proper and will always ask to join you on the couch before she jumps up. She loves hugs and will wrap her paws around you. She also likes going for walks, especially on trails, and will stay right next to you, never tugging, and is very calm when she sees other dogs.

At home, Lady loves to play fetch and then cuddle with her foster dad. She understands 'sit' and knows when she should come to her dad. She is willing to learn more. She does well free roaming and resting when her foster is away from home. And she is making good progress on her house training.

Lady will love to move in with pet parents who can give her two meals a day, take her on a couple of walks and give her compliments about how pretty she is. She hasn't been observed with kids, dogs, and cats yet, but is so gentle and calm that she should be fine with them.

Come meet her and promise you will treat her like royalty. For sure, she'll run home with you!
Come meet your new best friend
