Sweet girl Lanie (#49523) has been with us for two and a half months with no interest. We aren't sure why---maybe it's because she wants to be the only dog in the household? Or maybe we just haven't found her special person yet. She's been on a foster field trip slumber party (video below) and showed herself to be an excellent houseguest. We are on a mission to #FindLaniesFurever! She'll be making a special appearance on FOX19 this morning around 10:00 AM. Tune in to learn more about our girl and help spread the word!
