Lady was a brood bitch in a puppy mill who was summarily dumped when her whelping days were over. Conditions at the puppy mill had been harsh, as evidenced by the fact that part of one of Lady's ears was missing, the result of having been eaten away by flies
After some time in NTSRI's rescue program, what we thought was a "forever" home was found for her. However, some months later, it was discovered that Lady had been dumped yet again - this time into a local pound, in contravention of the contract that her adoptive family had signed with NTSRI. President Lynn Sluder once again rescued Lady, this time promising her that she would never again have to leave her home.
Lady spent several happy years with the Sluders. Her favorite thing in the world was food, and she would do anything in the world to get it. She even liked the green beans which were part of her regular slimming regime!
When old age finally overtook Lady, Lynn held her gently as she crossed to the Rainbow Bridge.
