Hi there, my name is Lonnie! I am an 18-month-old, 35 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and am trustworthy being left home alone uncrated. I like to relax and watch out the windows.
I am looking for a patient home as I am terrified of people and will do my best to avoid them. I have occasionally sought out attention from my foster mom after a few months together—it seems I did not have much exposure to humans prior to my arrival to Echo Dogs. A patient family who will work with me on my mistrust of humans with me and where there are not a lot of visitors would be ideal!
I love other dogs and will need a confident canine companion in my home. I am respectful and love to play with my foster siblings. I will require a securely, physically fenced yard as I love to spend as much time outside as I can at my foster home! I have learned about chew toys and think they are great! I do have a strong prey drive so I cannot go to a home with cats.
When I came to Echo Dogs, both of my front legs were broken due to a vehicle collision. I had several surgeries to repair the damage and can now move around comfortably and easily! As a result I am not a fan of cars—riding in them or just seeing them when out and about. Otherwise, I walk well on leash for my foster mom!
Now that I am physically healed up, I am ready to start the search for a special family to call my own where I can continue to learn about the human world. Could that be with you?

Echo Dogs fosters dogs in many states east of the Mississippi. Visit our Newcomers to see more of our dogs. Transportation for the adopted dog is available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered. This would be the responsibility of the adopter at their own expense. Proof of spay/neuter will be required!
