About Lainey

Meet Lainey! This sweet, playful puppy is around 7 weeks old and weighs about 10-11 lbs. We believe her mom was a Dalmatian, but her dad remains a mystery. Lainey's personality shines—she's a bundle of energy, loves to play tug-of-war, and enjoys snuggling with her foster family. Lainey gets along with both resident dogs and cats, showing a respectful nature towards everyone in her home. As she continues to learn her house training, she’s doing great! It’s important for her new family to be home during the day to support her training and socialization, helping her grow into a confident adult dog. Lainey comes with age-appropriate vaccines and has been microchipped. She’ll need to be spayed or neutered at 6 months old. Plus, adopting her means you'll receive free post-adoption training support to help you both settle into life together. Note that Lainey is not suited for apartment or condo living without a private fenced yard, as her immune system won’t be fully developed until 16 weeks old. This means avoiding public areas where she could encounter unvaccinated dogs until then. You must be at least 25 years old to adopt from Canines & Kitties Rescue, and the adoption fee is $400, plus a $100 refundable deposit for her spay/neuter procedure. Your adoption helps with the costs of caring for other animals in need. Ready to welcome Lainey into your heart? Apply today!
