Meet Lanta, a girl who will steal your heart with just one look. Her eyes are soulful, her mocha-colored coat soft and dreamy, and her personality... well, she's the perfect mix of cool, calm, and collected. Lanta moves with the vibe around her-chill and relaxed one moment, and full of energy and zoomies the next!

Lanta is a true puppy dream. She's low-key, incredibly affectionate, and loves her people fiercely. Always ready for cuddles or a spirited game of tug-of-war, she then happily collapses into a cozy nap... accompanied by the cutest, loudest puppy snores. She plays with cheerful energy, bouncing around like she thinks she's human, and even tries to "talk" to you-it's hilarious!
She's experienced a lively foster home, living with four human brothers (ages 8-17) and a resident husky. Lanta thrives in a busy household, showing an almost built-in empathy-she'll offer kisses and calm companionship when someone is feeling down. She's made for an active home full of love and energy.

Potty Training: Lanta is smart and on her way! She understands the process, just needs some fine-tuning.

Crate & Sleeping: She's comfortable in her crate for daytime naps. At night, she goes in around 11:30 PM and wakes briefly around 3 AM for a quick bathroom break before snuggling back in until 7 AM. She loves to be close to her people and will need ongoing crate training as she grows.

Training: Lanta responds best to praise over treats, and she's shown no resource guarding. She's gentle and eager to please-often leaving food behind for a belly rub and an enthusiastic "good girl!"

Oh my, Lanta truly is a GEM. She's ready to bring love, laughter, and loyalty to a family prepared to nurture her sweet and gentle soul.
