Baby It's Cold Outside!

With all the snow and cold settling in, Lanie has to make sure she keeps warm when she goes out. Sometimes she goes for the more stylish look:



Other times she's sporting a more active look and is rarin' to go out in the snow and play with Stevie!



But either way, she'd love to bring her winter style to a forever family. Who doesn't need a cute underbite doggie who wears hats!

And in case you're not up on her vital stats, here's an updated adoption profile for Ms. Lanie:

Name - Lanie
Breed, Age, Gender - 7-8 year old female, shepherd/chow/heinz-57 mix
Color - Yellow/Reddish shepherd type fur with white underside on belly, legs, head
Size - Medium - 45 lbs
Energy Level - Quiet, calm, very friendly
Good with other dogs? - Yes - gets along well with Stevie and likes to greet other dogs when out
Cats? - Yes - leaves cats alone and goes around them if they are in her path or waits for them to move.
Rabbits? - Yes- though she's still not sure if she should sniff the house rabbits or run the other way
Housetrained? - Yes
Adoption Info -  Lanie is a foster dog for Rockbridge Dog Rescue. Fill out their adoption application or email tiggamiru@yahoo.com if you'd like to make Lanie a part of your family.

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 although she has since undergone treatment and is fine now. 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's is looking for you! 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 likes kids as well. She's really pretty good with everyone and anyone - very happy disposition.
