About Lanie’s Breed:
Labradors are known for their intelligence, gentle nature, and loyalty. Lanie embodies all of these traits in a quieter, more shy package. She is eager to please, food motivated, and loves spending time near her people. With gentle encouragement, she will happily explore, learn, and enjoy life alongside her family.
Lanie’s Story & Personality:
Lanie is a sweet, shy girl who thrives in calm environments. She is completely house-trained and crate-trained, making her an easy companion at home. While a little nervous of new experiences like leashes, vacuums, or unfamiliar toys, she responds wonderfully to patience and reassurance. Outdoors on nice days, she enjoys exploring, but she’s equally happy to curl up on the couch and be near her human. She would do well with another gentle playmate her size, as long as her new family is understanding of her shy nature.
Lanie’s Ideal Home:
A calm and patient household that understands a shy dog’s needs
Someone willing to use a harness for walks and slowly build her confidence
Respectful kids only
Another friendly, gentle dog for companionship (optional)
Ready to Give Lanie the Love She Deserves?
Lanie is looking for a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and appreciated for her gentle, submissive personality. She may be shy at first, but with calm guidance, she will blossom into a devoted and affectionate companion.
