‘The World’s Saddest Dog’ Loses Her Home Again, And Might Be Put To Sleep If No One Adopts Her Soon

ADVERTISEMENT

Lana, the canine known as ‘the saddest dog in the world’, is homeless again – and she might be put to sleep if she doesn’t find someone to take her in. Back in 2015, a picture of Lana dejected in her kennel went viral. At that time, the family who adopted the shelter pooch returned her back, making her too sad to go on walks. “It’s almost like her world shut down,” Dahlia Ayoub of Mighty Mutts told in 2015.

The reason why they surrendered her back to the shelter was that Lana snapped at her human mom. The doggie’s memories of being the runt of the litter may have triggered the urge to protect her food. However, the shelter found someone who give her a second chance, and so Lana was adopted again. Up until recently, that is.

“Lana’s adoption did not work out because people want a dog they can pet and play with,” said Brenda Dobranski, founder of Rescue Dogs Match. “Lana is a silly fun girl but she is not the type of dog that will let you give belly rubs…”.

The doggie only has until May 20 before she might be put to sleep. Are you that someone who can accept Lana for the special dog that she is? Can you make ‘the world’s saddest dog’ happy again?

I think a cat person can adopt him with no problem... cat owners know how to deal with animal's privacy and their mood. this dog just is different with people's perspective . If someone be patient enough there will be special bound with this kind of animals that realy worth it.

If you a cat owner you really shouldn't adopt a dog that defends her resources with her teeth. The dog might even only mean it as a warning snap but your cats might still not survive it.
