Adoption Info - Lanie is a foster dog for Rockbridge Dog Rescue.
More Info - Lanie is a sweetheart of a dog! She doesn't seem to have had an easy life and then was dumped at a shelter because her owner didn't want to take care of her anymore. The bare patches on her ears from fly strike and/or frostbite and her curiosity about normal household items and going-ons indicate she was likely kept outside much of the time. She was also heartworm positive and is completing her last round of treatment this month. She startles easily when touched on her back end so she may have been mistreated by her former owner. Lanie has adapted well to being a spoiled house dog :). She lines her bed with all her toys and plays quietly with them or brings them to you to play with her. She's very quiet and calm yet outgoing. Lanie loves to give kisses and greets houseguests and strangers by kissing them and wagging happily at them. She likes to go for walks and walks well on the leash without pulling.
What Lanie is looking for - Lanie could go to a variety of homes - with another dog, by herself, with cats, without cats, etc. With her friendly and calm personality and love of walks she would be a good companion for a younger person or couple or an older one. She's really pretty good with everyone so far. Very young children and puppies are about the only unknowns so far.

@Tracy - she seems fine with the older neighbor kids- she greeted them happily when she met a couple. I haven't had her around toddlers yet. She's not aggressive at all - it's possible she might be frightened by the noise and activity of toddlers - I will find some and test her! :)
ReplyDeleteShe's fine with strangers. She spent all Saturday night putting her head in the laps of two friends I had over that she'd never met before. She was also very friendly to everyone at the vet office and all the staff. She gave out kisses to anyone that would let her.
