Larisa

Larisa

Graceful, gentle, and just a little bit dreamy, Larisa moves through life at her own unhurried pace.

This beautiful 1-year-old, 60-lb Anatolian/Lurcher mix has the kind of calm presence that makes everyone fall in love. At a recent adoption event, she happily greeted visitors, soaked up attention, and handed out kisses to anyone willing to stop and say hello.

Larisa loves a good walk and has wonderful leash manners. She enjoys meeting new people and dogs along the way. If a squirrel catches her eye, her ears may perk up, but a simple "leave it" is all she needs to keep moving.

She enjoys playtime but isn't high energy. Larisa is just as happy stretching out nearby while you work, read, or relax.

At home, she's wonderfully communicative. When she needs to go outside, she'll politely come find you, tail wagging and asking for attention.

She's great with kids, friendly with other dogs, and affectionate without being demanding. Ask her to sit, and she may take a moment to consider your request before deciding that a belly rub is an even better idea.

If you're looking for a sweet, well-mannered companion who is equally happy joining you on a walk or lounging by your side, Larisa may be your perfect match.
