About Me
UPDATE – 25 SEPTEMBER 2021: Hi! My name is Alanna but they call me lana banana! I don’t respond to either, so it doesn’t really matter… I do respond to treats though! Except for when I have escaped and am running through the neighborhood! Yep! I am a little escape artist! I’m a little lover, but any chance I get to run… I take it! I have jumped off of the deck twice to get a little freedom romp in… (once was unattended, the other time it only took me 2 seconds to get up on the rail and jump over to the neighbor’s shed). The neighbor’s back fence is only 4 feet tall, so I got over it no problem! Foster mom is trying to keep grass growing in the back yard so she puts up a 2 ½ feet fence to protect the grass in certain areas. I sail over that just for fun!!!
I love food, but I am a slow eater. Some of my foster siblings eat really fast and after losing my meals a couple of times to them, I let them know that they were no longer allowed to bully me! I wasn’t mean or aggressive, I just gave them a stern growl. I LOVE treats and I take them really gently. I will jump up for treats, but I don’t weigh that much, so I have never caused any harm by jumping up. Talking about jumping up… I love to steal things off of counters or any other place that I shouldn’t be able to reach.
I love playing with my foster siblings, but I’m not sure if I need to have another dog in the house with me or not… I am pretty independent and I like my foster mom, but I’m always up for a game of bite the face or chase! I LOVE to play. I am semi-high energy. They estimate my age to be about 2 years old. That seems about right… I like to take naps and sleep in comfy places like foster mom’s bed with my head on her pillow.
I’m not completely house trained. I will potty outside, but the outside is for playing!!! I can’t always waste my time out there to potty when a good game of zoomies is going on!
Am I the right dog for you??? I sure hope so, but my foster mom said that I need to let you know that I need a really secure yard or leash walks. Oh yeah, and I can be a bit of a loud mouth! I love to yell out my silly high pitched arroooo when playing or when foster mom comes home or when someone is walking by or when a leaf is blowing in the air…
UPDATE – 4 SEPTEMBER 2021: Alanna is now in a foster home, so we will be learning more about her soon!
NEW – 17 AUGUST 2021: Alanna is a 2-year-old beagle girl with a dash of hound. She’s slightly taller than your average beagle. She was an owner surrender who gave her up because they had too many dogs. She was turned in to the Amelia Animal Shelter in Virginia. She’s people and dog friendly, and she walks well on a leash. She is available for fostering or adoption.
