Laney brings a playful side—fetch, chew toys, and even some spirited zoomies—but settles right in for cuddles when it's time to relax. Reserve is her first move, but Laney warms up fast and turns into a loyal, affectionate shadow. She knows basic commands and is picking up new ones quickly—she's a smart dog who likes to be engaged. Laney doesn’t mind the company of other dogs on walks, and she's shown no issues with them at the shelter. She hasn’t met kids here, but her friendly nature suggests she’d likely do fine with respectful children. Being part of her human’s daily life makes her happiest—whether it’s a walk, playtime in the yard, or downtime on the couch. Like many playful dogs, she can get mouthy when excited but is learning to control her enthusiasm.
