Dana

Location: Sylvan Lake, AB // Age: Approx 4 years old // Sex: Spayed female // Energy Level: Low/ Medium // Dogs: Yes, calm dogs // Cats: Untested // Kids: Older, calmer kids // <br/><br/>Meet Dana — the quiet observer, the soft soul, the “I’ll be right here beside you” kind of girl. <br/><br/>🐾 Dana isn’t the type to demand the spotlight… she’s the one who watches from a cozy chair, taking it all in, gently deciding when she’s ready to step forward for a chin scratch or a quiet hello. And when she does? It feels special—like you’ve been chosen. <br/>🤍 She’s the perfect balance of peaceful and present. Around the house, Dana is a professional napper, curling up in the softest spot she can find and happily snoozing the day away. But when it’s time to head out? She’s all in. Walks are her thing—no pulling, no chaos, just a calm companion by your side, occasionally pausing to politely say hello to new people or curiously observe the world around her. <br/>🐾 Dana appreciates the simple things: a quiet home, gentle voices, predictable routines. While she’s kind and friendly, busy or high-energy environments—especially loud, fast-moving kids—can make her feel unsure. Because of that, Dana would feel most comfortable in a calm, adult-only home (or one with older, very respectful kids who understand her gentle nature). <br/>🐾 She gets along well with other calm dogs and may even enjoy a canine companion who shares her laid-back vibe. Boisterous or overwhelming dogs aren’t really her style—Dana prefers friends who match her easygoing energy. <br/>🐾 When left alone, Dana settles beautifully in her crate and patiently waits for your return (and yes, she will absolutely greet you like you’ve been gone for years—even if it’s just been an hour). She’s fully house trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and has lovely manners all around. <br/>🐾 Dana doesn’t need much—just a soft place to land, a kind human, and a home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace. In return, she’ll give you something really special: quiet companionship, gentle loyalty, and a love that grows deeper every single day. <br/>🐾 If you’re looking for a calm, sweet, low-key companion who will melt into your life (and your couch), Dana might just be your girl. <br/>🐶✨ Apply to meet her by completing an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
