Lady

Please meet little Lady! She is a merle Australian Shepherd who is about five years old. Her owner is elderly, and can no longer take her for walks, and so Lady isn't getting all the exercise an Aussie needs.

Lady's blindness is due to genetics- the result of breeding two merle (spotted coat) Aussies. These are referred to as "double merles". Click here for more information on this very common condition.

Lady has already been spayed, and is heartworm negative. The vet clinic where she was last treated says she's a very sweet girl, and they really hope we can find her a great home.

Lady is currently living in Florida.
