Lorna - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Lorna - A Joyful Spirit with a Warrior's Heart

Lorna is a sweet, special girl with a zest for life that's nothing short of inspiring. Found in critical condition and facing the odds, she never lost her spark. After a hind leg amputation and losing mobility in her back end, Lorna proved that nothing-not even the toughest challenges-can dim her light. Now thriving in foster care with a custom wheelchair, Lorna is living life to the fullest. She's full of personality, endlessly affectionate, and absolutely adores people. She's also dog and cat friendly, making her the perfect companion for a home with other furry friends. Due to her injuries, Lorna is incontinent-but she's a total pro at wearing her diapers and being expressed. Her wheelchair (which comes with her!) helps her zoom around like the happy, playful pup she is. Lorna may need a little extra care, but what she gives in return-joy, love, and unwavering resilience-makes every moment worth it. If you're ready to open your heart and home to an extraordinary girl with an unstoppable spirit, Lorna is ready to meet you.
