Lovely Lorna is looking for a new family to call her own. This pretty girl was returned to FBRN when her dad realized that his work schedule was too intense and left Lorna alone too much. Lorna has been happily hanging out with her foster family and is now looking for that forever family to call her own.
Lorna is a four year old cream puff! She is quite healthy. Before coming to FBRN she was a breeder and when she was retired we were happy to have her. She has some food allergies, which are controlled on her rice and salmon kibble diet. She does need to have her girlie-bits wiped every day or so to prevent irritation. Her mom has not seen any big allergy outbreaks, but her new family will have to be on the lookout for any outbreaks.
Lorna loves kids but she can be a little exuberant so kids eight years and older are preferred. She does have an active prey drive so we will say no to cats. Lorna, like many frog princesses would rather be the only girl in the house, but she will tolerate a smaller submissive male subject in her kingdom. Larger dogs seem to make her uncomfortable. Her foster mom describes her as a medium activity girl. She may dominate other dogs but knows that when it comes to people, she is a princess not a queen! She loves going on her "walkies" and is very housebroken. She finds hanging out on her porch to be excellent activity. She likes looking for chipmunks' nests, exploring every nook and cranny as well as every acorn on the ground. We think she would love her own fenced in yard to explore. When inside, she enjoys chewing her Nylabone or dismembering those pesky squeakies that drive all Frenchies nuts. She has been known to explore the tops of tables or standing up to peer in the garbage can, but simple redirection fixes this. She is crate trained and will go in her crate when needed without fuss. And...she's flexible, so going to the office or staying at home with a dog walker all work for her. If you are a first time Frenchie fanatic, Lorna could be your girl!
What Lorna really LOVES is to sleep ON her human. Whether on the couch, bed or floor, Lorna will snuggle up, and when you are not looking, sneak ON you for a nice snuggle and snooze. Her forever family must know that Lorna just cannot be happy without a warm human to sleep on.
Lorna's mom has this to say: "Lorna is a sweet, gorgeous, little girl who often acts more like a puppy than a retired breeder. She thinks she's a bloodhound and tries to stick her short little snout into stonewalls, piles of leaves, and dirty laundry. When called away she looks up and flashes her snaggletoothed grin. Lorna is enthusiastic, silly, and friendly. Give her a long hallway and she'll sprint and hop up and down like a bunny rabbit. She'll end her excursion with a squirming back roll to chase the itchies away. At nighttime, I start out with Lorna sleeping next to me, but sometimes I wake in the morning to a dog on top of me or nestled in my arms. I don't know how she sneaks into my arms without waking me, but somehow she manages to push out my pillow supports and weasel her way in. It is so adorable that I can't really get mad. "
If you think Lorna may be the companion you are looking for, please fill out an application and tell us why. Lorna is enjoying early summer barbecues and warm weather in Eastern Massachusetts. Plan on joining her there, as she will not be shipped.
