Lana 10/19/2021

MEET OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, LANA!!

 Lana is a 3-4 year old Pit Bull Terrier/Boxer mix.

She is as sweet as can be. As you can tell in her

picture, she LOVES being outside! She could be outside for hours and be

completely content.

Lana would do best in a home with very active

owners, and no other pets as she doesn't do well with other dogs. She is kennel trained, but can get very protective of her kennel space when she is

in one. This girl is ready to thrive in a new home. We love her here at the shelter, but are excited to see what the future brings for this bright girl! More info
