Meet Lori – Your Next Adventure Partner
Some dogs are couch potatoes.
Lori is not that dog.
At about a year old, Lori (formerly Zibu) was renamed in honor of Lori Piestewa a Native American woman soldier and she lives up to the name with spirit, toughness, and a love for the journey.
Her perfect day?
An early start, a long hike, hours of play with dog friends, a few sprints just for fun, maybe another run… and then finally crashing on the couch (briefly) before asking what’s next.
Breed? Unknown—but she looks like a Pharaoh Hound, has the energy of a Belgian Malinois, and the heart of a Golden Retriever.
Why Lori stands out:
• Loves people and thrives on attention
• Dog-friendly and very playful
• Built for adventure—hikes, travel, new environments
• Great in the car (crate or backseat for hours)
• Housebroken and does well in both homes and hotels
The honest part:
• She has a lot of energy—this is not a casual dog
• A little shy at first, but warms up quickly
• Recall is improving… unless a squirrel is involved
• Can be vocal when excited
• Cats… she’s very interested but safe.
Lori has been evaluated for detection work, but her path is clear—she’s meant to be someone’s adventure partner, not a working dog.
Her perfect match?
An active person who wants a dog to do life with—hiking, running, traveling, exploring.
Lori isn’t for everyone.
But for the right person, she’s an incredible dog who will give you everything she’s got.
