Bow wow my name is Lona
   






Sometimes AHF dogs get adopted but come back for a variety of reasons... most often due to no fault of theirs... they are called too playful or not playful enough, too young or too old, too big or too small... nothing people didn't know prior to adoption but thought they could deal with. There are allergies, new babies, job changes, moves into a new apartment where dogs are not allowed, job loss and home foreclosures. The list could go on and on. . .
What matters is that Almost Home takes these dogs back, no matter what and helps them find yet another home, this time hopefully their final home.
This dog is one of the unlucky ones that thought it had found a forever home but now got returned. It had already lost the first home to end up in rescue and is now homeless again...please take a good look and consider adopting her.
Lona is a very active and lively 3-year-old girl. She is a little shy, but warms up quickly. She is very energetic and puppy-like. Lona has discovered her love of chew toys and really enjoys a game of fetch.
We are working on housebreaking and she is learning very quickly. Lona had never been groomed and had to be shaved when she came to us. Her fur is very shiny and sooo.. soft! Lona will be absolutely beautiful when her fur has grown back. She is learning all about daily brushing and having her eyes and ears cleaned.
Lona does not like to be left alone and we are working on crate training for short periods throughout the day. Lona is also beginning to learn her basic obedience – sit, stay, come, down and give.
Lona’s ideal forever home would be a family that has someone home all day and is willing to continue working with her on obedience. She also requires substantial exercise everyday. Lona loves to run outside and play so a fenced yard would be ideal. Lona walks well on a leash and takes several long walks daily.
If you are looking for an adorable 11-pound bundle of energy, please stop by and meet Lona. She will make a great addition to your family!
