About Laynie

Meet Laynie, a delightful little companion who adores everyone around her! This small, b/w Shih Tzu-terrier mix weighs about 15 lbs and is around 2-3 years old. She came from the Lancaster shelter with a UTI and kennel cough but has bounced back wonderfully, showing a vibrant and playful personality. It took her only about a week to start being her silly, affectionate self. Be ready for some joyful jumps as she demands attention and love! Laynie is a classic character. She loves car rides more than anything, and if you leave the car door open, you might find her trying to take the driver's seat! During walks, Laynie makes sure other dogs know she’s around but ultimately seeks the attention of her human friends. She would thrive in a home with or without kids and can get along well with other dogs. What she really needs is lots of love and interaction. Could you provide that? Start your journey together!
