* Bio:

Prana is a sweet, lovable, gentle girl. She is a 1.5-2 year old Aussie Lab mix weighing 48 pounds and is deaf. She adores kids, people, and, most of all, her primary person. If you decide to sit, lay, or relax, she will do two things: Either relax with you, making sure she is touching you or bring you a ball for you to throw so she can chase. Prana is madly in love with fetching balls and is quite a retriever! 

Prana likes to be the center of attention!  She is good with other dogs as long as she has proper introductions.  While on walks with her primary person she has shown some resource guarding tendencies but should improve with training and time.  Prana will need someone patient to work with her protective nature of her human once she bonds with him/her. When introduced to other dogs without her person, she warmed up to other dogs after some time.  Prior to coming to Speak, Prana was fostered with 11 other dogs, so we think she can be comfortable in a multi-dog household.

Prana is potty and crate-trained. Because she has shown some anxiety when left alone for a long period of time, but with continuous routine and love, she will trust and feel assured she’s found her forever home. She truly is a sweet girl who wants to be part of a family.

Prana would do best in a household with tween kids or older due to her passionate, welcoming personality when her family comes home. She treats it like it’s Christmas morning every time she lays her beautiful eyes on you. Due to her strength, her jumps and wiggles for the first few minutes when her family comes home. Otherwise, she is a chill pup! She hasn’t had too many interactions with other dogs since being in her current foster home, and depending on the vibes, she will be playful or standoffish. Prana is currently the only furbaby in her home. 

Prana loves car rides, walks, and playing fetch (did I mention this is her favorite) but is also up for naps on cozy beds or couches.  She is a master pillow fluffer to create the perfect spot to relax. She’s quite the snuggle bug!  If you are looking for an active dog to be your best friend who can also Netflix and chill with you, Prana is your girl!  She is being fostered in Columbus, Ohio. She is spayed, microchipped, and current on all vaccines/prevention.
