About Dana

Dana is pure charisma—a 65-pound, five-year-old pit bull terrier mix with a trademark grin and presence that instantly wins people over.

She’s happiest as the center of attention, soaking up all the love and giving it right back in the form of kisses, devotion, and play. Dana is house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations.
