Meet Lady Carpenter

Meet Lady Carpenter On August 3rd, I received a heartbreaking call from a young woman who had been referred to me by our vet’s office. She had just lost her mom to cancer, and sadly, no one in the family was able to keep her beloved Lady. After 15 years with the only family she had ever known, this precious senior girl was suddenly facing homelessness and the possibility of being sent to a shelter. My heart broke for her. I knew we had to help. I desperately needed an emergency foster, and by the grace of God, a beautiful foster family stepped up and opened their hearts and home to Lady. ❤️ Lady Carpenter is a 15-year-old Bichon/Poodle mix who is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. She recently had a dental and a couple of fatty tumors removed, and she has healed beautifully. For a senior girl, she is doing remarkably well, and her bloodwork is all within normal range. Lady is sight and hearing impaired, but don't let that fool you—this little lady gets around remarkably well! She has adapted beautifully and knows how to enjoy the simple things in life. She absolutely loves her home cooked meals, sunbathing and watching the birds, and she is happiest when she can simply relax and take in the world around her. ☀️ Lady is also a perfect angel in the car and would love nothing more than to go everywhere her person goes. She doesn't do well in a crate, but she doesn't need one. She picks her own cozy spot and sleeps beautifully throughout the night. Lady is potty trained, but because she is a senior, she needs to be taken outside about every 2–3 hours to relieve herself. She is looking for a quiet, patient home without young children and preferably no other dogs—or another very friendly, gentle dog who will respect her space. This sweet girl has already lost the person she loved and the only home she knew for 15 years. She doesn't understand why her world suddenly changed. Now, all Lady needs is someone to promise her that she is home again. Someone who will spoil her, cherish her, be patient with her special needs, and let her live out her golden years feeling safe, loved, and pampered. ❤️ I truly believe there is an angel out there for Lady. ✨ If you would like to give Lady the forever home she deserves, please complete our adoption application at www.tlck9rescue.org. Please share Lady's story. Her forever family may be just one share away. ❤️
