About Dana

Dana, a Terrier mix with a pair of standout ears, has an easy charm and happy spirit that win people over in minutes. She loves to be close and doesn’t hide her desire for lap time and belly rubs—she’ll climb up and settle in if you let her. While she’s affectionate and wants your company, Dana is fine left alone too and will simply curl up and nap until you return. Her energy is low-key, not the kind to bounce off the walls, but she still enjoys walks, scent games, sunbathing, and playing with toys that keep her mind busy. She gets along great with other dogs and could do well with a canine buddy in her next home. Dana is curious about the world and adapts quickly, moving confidently through new spaces despite being blind. She’s figured out stairs and the layout of her foster home and yard, and she just needs some initial support learning her environment. Dana is house trained and has earned free roam privileges in her foster home. She’ll thrive in a place that offers gentle guidance, walks, and lots of couch cuddles. You can meet Dana in Windsor, CO.
