Dog of the Week: Lana

Julia D Dog of the Week

Lana is an energetic two-year-old sweetie.  She may be black like a lab, but she is bouncy like a terrier, follows her nose like a bloodhound, and prances on long legs like a whippet.  That why we call her an “American Shelter Dog.”  She came to us as a stray from Texas, enjoyed her flight to Iowa, and now enjoys …
