Lainey - Hound / Terrier / Mixed Dog For Adoption

she meets with her sweet, playful nature. Lainey is an easygoing girl who enjoys getting outside for short walks, even in the colder weather. She loves exploring, sniffing all the neighborhood scents, and is steadily improving her leash skills. She may zig-zag a bit now, but she’s making great progress with each outing! With a medium energy level, Lainey thrives when she has fun ways to stay engaged. She loves chasing balls (she’s still working on the “bring it back” part!), enjoys enrichment activities like snuffle mats and puzzle toys, and happily settles in with a good chew like a bone or Kong afterward. When it’s time to relax, Lainey is all about the snuggles. Once she knows you, she becomes a total lap dog who loves being close—whether that’s curled up beside you or gently leaning in for affection. She may be a little vocal when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly with reassurance and positive reinforcement. She also takes her role as “neighborhood watch” seriously and will let you know when something catches her eye outside. Lainey has done well with other dogs when introduced properly. She enjoys playing with dogs who match her size and energy, but she’s also respectful of pups who prefer their space. Like many young dogs, she can be a bit mouthy and curious, so she’ll benefit from supervision and continued guidance—especially since she’s known to investigate anything within reach! She is housebroken and does best in a safe, gated area when home alone, where she can relax comfortably. Crates aren’t her favorite, and she may let you know that vocally. Lainey’s foster describes her as “sweet, smart, silly, and full of personality.” With a little structure and continued training, she’s going to make an incredibly loving and fun companion for a lucky adopter. PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and southern PA region.
