About Alawna

Alawna is a 51-pound spayed female mixed-breed dog, just about a year old. She may seem a bit apprehensive about the outside world, but once she feels secure, she transforms into a loving companion. When first leashed, she hesitated at the edge of her kennel, needing some encouragement. A gentle touch and soothing words eased her nerves, and she walked nicely—though she did require a lift over a tricky doorway. Once outside, she gravitated towards comfort, quickly snuggling into a lap as soon as we settled down. Alawna can startle at sudden movements but a soft voice brings her back to a calm state. She enjoys treats and plays happily with toys, even if she hasn't yet mastered the command "sit." This gentle girl simply needs a patient adopter who can allow her to build confidence at her own pace. She's shown a non-reactive demeanor towards dogs and may adjust well to having a fur sibling after proper introductions. Please keep in mind that the shelter environment can be stressful, and it might take her a few days to fully relax and show her true personality. If you're ready for a loving cuddle buddy who thrives with patience, Alawna would love to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
