Meet Lainey! This sweet and gentle girl is a nine month old, spayed female, Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. She's friendly and very loving, but has her shy side. We're hoping she will meet her forever family very soon!
Lainey was found as a stray, and unfortunately was likely dumped. Some kind souls saw her wandering and held her until she could be brought to the shelter. She was very shy at first, and it took them a day or two to earn her trust. She was the same way when she first arrived here, and didn't want us to mess with her too much right off the bat. Given some time, though, she has become a very affectionate and playful girl. Now that she's settled in, she loves attention, and is always happiest to be right by your side. Just please be prepared for her to need some time to adjust to your home, and keep a close eye on her so she doesn't get spooked and run off.
Since Lainey was a stray, we don't know much about her background. She has briefly met other dogs here and we've had mixed results. We feel it is best that Lainey meets any other dogs in the home prior to adoption, so please reach out to us about a meet 'n greet with any canine residents in your home. We have not seen her around cats or kids at all. With her being nervous at first meeting, she should be supervised around children until she can get comfortable around them. We always recommend a meet and greet with any pets or kids prior to adopting to make sure Lainey is the right fit for your family.
We don't know exactly what level of training Lainey has received, but it does seem like she has some house training as she's been doing a very good job at keeping her kennel clean. She's also still young, so her future owner will be able to work with her on whatever else she needs. Please keep in mind, too, that with her age she is still very active. Some families pick small dogs because they think they will be calmer, but Lainey would love a family that will keep her exercising!
Lainey has received her first round of vaccinations, has been spayed and is now ready for her forever home! Stop by to meet our sweet girl today!
