Adopt Lana a Brown/Chocolate Coonhound / Foxhound / Mixed dog in Durham

Location:

Durham, NC

Description:

Lana is a sweet, retired momma. A little shy at first, Lana warms up quickly when living with someone. She is a low-maintenance gal who is happy to snooze nearby and go for a run in a fenced yard. Lana loves having her own spot, whether it be a bed or couch, and she will excitedly run to her spot to enjoy treats or store toys. Because of her opportunistic escape tendencies, Lana will need to live in a home with a very secure fence or always be kept on a secure leash when outside. Her future family will also need to be vigilant when opening exterior doors to ensure there isn't a brief opportunity for her to dart outside. Lana is very gentle with other animals; she completely ignores cats and is happily patient and respectful with other dogs. She would be a good fit in most households where her new family took things slow at first and gave her a consistent routine. While Lana is patient with kids, she is wary of them and will walk away giving herself some distance. Lana is learning leash skills and will often momentarily pull hard when she catches an exciting smell or when she's uncomfortable in her current place. Once the leash restricts her, she immediately lets up. Lana loves to lie in the same room as her human and watch TV (see video) or take a nice doggie-nap. She is very quiet, does not jump on others, is very still when having her harnesses put on or taken off, and patiently tolerates any handling. She rides well in the car and hops in excitedly. She does not like a crate but does fine when left alone in a room and is not destructive. She is house-trained and can go 6 hours between potty breaks. PHYSICAL Lana has a typical tricolor hound coat with a long white muzzle and cute droopy ears. Her eyes are dark black and they look like sweet doe-eyes. HEALTH Lana is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, spayed, and heartworm negative. She has an old injury in her front right leg which radiologists believe was from a previous fracture. This injury does not impact her mobility in any way nor seem to cause her any pain, and we are discussing with vets the best treatment plan. HISTORY Lana was a stray and pregnant when rescued by a Good Samaritan. Her puppies were taken in by another rescue.
