Psst… hi! Lydia here.

I'm basically a black tornado with white socks who somehow convinced everyone I'm smarter than the pen they put me in, and now I get to chase tennis balls and steal rope toys forever.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.

I'm a Princeton local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Labor Day I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — Lydia

About Lydia

Meet Lydia — Lydia is a stunning little girl with a sleek all-black coat, a sweet white stripe on her chest, and adorable white-tipped back paws. As cute as she looks, her personality is just as big! This energetic pup is clever and athletic—she quickly figured out how to hop right over a critter x-pen, earning herself an upgrade to a dog-sized x-pen instead. Smart girl! Lydia is always on the move and would likely grow up to be a great game-of-catch partner. She loves chasing a tennis ball and can happily spend hours chewing on her beloved edible Nylabones. Her favorite toys are ropes, and she's known for launching surprise "attack" play sessions on her brother, which are equal parts hilarious and adorable. She's been wonderful with adults and small children, loves belly rubs, and happily crawls into your lap for affection. She's also shown no reaction to a cat casually walking by—just another cool point for Lydia. Like any puppy, she's high-energy and curious, which means everything looks like it should go in her mouth. Her favorite times of day are mealtimes (no surprise there!), and her least favorite is nighttime when everyone goes to bed without her. During the day, she balances her busy puppy life between playtime and naps. One of the cutest things about Lydia? Her ears—always slightly raised with the tips folded over, giving her an endlessly expressive and heart-melting look. Lydia love to walk you when outside. She will grab the leash and try to pull you around. She is really beginning to enjoy her time outside. She is the one with all the energy. She is obsessed with chew treats. She'll finish hers and then goes on to tak her brother's treat. She has become a skilled climber on the stairs already! Lydia is pure puppy joy and ready to bring fun, love, and laughter to her forever home. Lydia is from a local reservation.
