Meet Lana, a beautiful husky mix with a big heart. Lana might come across as a bit reserved when you first meet her, but don't let this initial shyness fool you. Once she feels comfortable and safe, Lana transforms into a vibrant bundle of joy, full of energy and excitement. She absolutely adores treats, and watching her perform her zoomies around the yard is a sight guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
Lana's ideal home would be one that understands the nuances of her initial timidity and appreciates the boundless energy she has to offer once she's settled in. Given her spirited nature, we believe Lana would thrive in a household with older, dog-savvy children who can join her in her adventures and understand her unique needs. Lana enjoys the company of other dogs, but she does require a proper introduction to ensure a smooth transition and a happy, harmonious home for everyone involved. A meet and greet with any potential canine siblings is a must to set everyone up for success.
For Lana, we are seeking a family with experience in caring for husky mixes or similar breeds, who understands the commitment, patience, and love needed to nurture a dog like Lana into their family. Her perfect match will be someone who cherishes the quiet moments of building trust just as much as the joyous outbursts of play that follow. If you're ready to embark on a rewarding journey filled with love, laughter, and plenty of zoomies, Lana might just be the perfect addition to your family. Let's help Lana find her forever home, where she can fully blossom into the loving, energetic companion she's meant to be.

More about this shelter
The Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is one of the core responsibilities of Cabarrus County Animal Control, a division of the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office. The shelter is an open admission shelter, which means we do not turn away any animal in need. We are a public facility that provides safe temporary shelter for homeless animals while the staff searches for permanent homes for the animals through community adoption or transfers to Rescue Partners. The animal shelter also provides a variety of other services for the community. The animal shelter is NOT a pet boarding facility. While the shelter is open admission, we do require pre-scheduled appointments for all owner surrenders. Please see our hours of operation for details.
Staff at the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is committed to placing safe and healthy animals in the community by searching for appropriate permanent homes for adoptable animals. We work with approved Rescue Partners locally and nationally to place animals with workable behavior concerns and treatable medical issues with groups with the resources to take on those specific cases. To determine if an animal is adoptable, shelter staff must rule out any underlying medical conditions and/or temperaments that present safety risks to the community. Euthanasia is a last resort. When necessary, euthanasia is carried out with respect to the animals by a Certified Euthanasia Technician following best-practice guidelines set by the NC Department of Agriculture. It is important to Cabarrus County that all animals at the shelter receive care and compassion.
