Lagatha's current caretakers say:
This brave chihuahua lady is named after a great viking queen. She has lived through such hardship, but she is ready to conquer the world. Before being rescued by Fairy Tails, she spent time at two different dog shelters that couldn’t adopt her out because she was too scared to let any staff touch her. Somehow, we got this girl to come to us, and we took her out of the shelter and put her in a foster home, where she immediately blossomed into a sweet, loving and curious dog.
