Lana

Husky · Female · Young · 1 year

Lana would love a home where she can enjoy a few walks each day before coming home for a well-earned snooze on the sofa. Once settled, she should be able to cope with being left for a few hours. Her new family will need to be patient and willing to continue her training, particularly as she can feel a little worried when her harness is being put on or taken off. With time, patience and positive training, Lana has all the potential to become a wonderful companion. If you're an active family looking for a playful, affectionate and energetic dog to share your adventures, Lana could be the girl for you! Lana is a confident, excitable one-year-old collie cross who loves meeting new people and greets everyone with a lovely waggy tail! She is a real livewire who enjoys being out and about, and would suit an active family looking for a fun-loving companion. Lana is super playful when meeting other dogs and could potentially live with another dog, providing they match her energy or are happy to tolerate her enthusiastic, OTT playstyle. Any dog introduction would be subject to a successful mix at the centre. She could also live with older secondary-school-aged children who are confident and experienced around boisterous dogs. She cannot live with cats or small furries.

About Lana

What life with Lana looks like

Lana is a small young adult husky dog waiting at Dogs Trust Basildon in Wickford.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lana?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Basildon handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lana if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Basildon will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lana already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lana isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Basildon early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lana and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
