About Lorna

Meet Lorna, a joyful spirit with a warrior's heart. This sweet girl is truly inspiring, having overcome incredible odds.

She's also friendly with both dogs and cats, so she'd fit nicely into a home with other furry friends. Although she is incontinent due to her injuries, she handles it like a pro with her diapers and occasional needing to be expressed. Caring for Lorna comes with some extra responsibilities, but the joy, love, and unwavering resilience she brings to a family makes it more than worthwhile.
