About Lorraine

Lorraine is a lovely, adventurous two-year-old mixed-breed dog currently living in Buffalo, MN. While she adores exploring her environment, she's still a bit anxious about loud sounds and sudden movements. Once comfortable, she can be a playful rascal, especially when scoping out tasty treats on the kitchen counter. She walks well on a leash but needs her handler to remain vigilant, particularly around squirrels. Lorraine enjoys sitting by the window, quietly watching for her furry friends outside. Despite her hound dog ears, she rarely barks. Having another dog at home would be beneficial for her, as it helps her feel secure and learn the ropes. Lorraine has a blast playing chase with other dogs and enjoys quiet wrestling matches with the resident cattle dog in her foster home. While she's not been around cats or young children, she'd likely appreciate the more predictable actions of older kids. Though she's a bit headstrong about entering her crate or putting on her collar, Lorraine's food motivation makes her a great candidate for beginning obedience classes. This beautiful girl seeks someone who works from home, allowing her less time in the crate. She sleeps soundly on her own bed next to her foster parents, but after facing numerous challenges in her short life, she’s now in need of a caring family to help her flourish. Lorraine truly deserves the time and energy investment to thrive. Ready to meet this wonderful companion? Click apply to start the adoption process.
