Ideal Home/Adopter: Miss Lana is the the sweetest old lady who loves to be right in your lap at all times. She doesn't like to be crated, but does tolerate it for short periods of time. Her ideal house is a quiet, lazy house that will let her catch all the suns, give her all the treats and a comfy couch sleep on while she lives out her golden years.

Likes: She loves to sunbathe, play dress up in her sweaters (because she is always cold), snuggling on the couch, and getting all the snacks. She loves to give kisses and likes her paw held when she's nervous. Short walks are best for Miss Lana since she's had a few knee surgeries in the past. She loves to paint, do puzzles and other enrichments with her friends at Camp Bow Wow!

Dislikes: She has anxiety with new things and takes a while to acclimate. She doesn't like to be alone, she isn't a fan of men, and doesn't see very well, which can cause her to be jumpy sometimes.

Additional Considerations: She is potty trained but has had a long history of UTI infections that have left her a little leaky at night, so she wears diapers in case she has an accident while sleeping. She is muzzled on walks not because of the risk of her biting, but because she believes she has a stomach made of steel and can process sticks, grass, or other neighborhood "treasures". She is a fighter and we were able to have her mass cell tumors removed when she joined our rescue.

What makes this dog special: Lana has quite a story! This is the goofiest old lady you will ever meet! She has some special needs, but that just makes the love she gives so special! She will melt your heart every time she looks at you. She loves to be tucked in to her blankets and a goodnight kiss on her head before bed. She has daily meds that she takes gently from your hand for her old lady anxiety and pain. She is an amazing girl who has so much love left to share with this world!
