Lena's on the lookout for a forever home! This fun-loving young girl is turning heads left and right with her big smile, stunning eyes, and the best and biggest ears in town. Lena is a dog who adores the outdoors. Before the hurricane, her favorite activity was hiking with volunteers, especially along creeks (see her videos!). She can't wait for her favorite trails to reopen so she can adventure with a new human BFF! Lena has excellent manners on car rides and will melt your heart with how cute she looks snoozing in the backseat on your drive home.
Lena is sometimes shy with new people, but once she knows you, she's all love. She greets her favorite people at the door with a stuffy toy and full-body wiggles, eager to play and spend time with you. Lena prefers to be the only canine apple of your eye. She's working on her manners and will be a wonderful addition to a home where she can continue to polish up her training skills.
Lena is in the Adoption Center, so you can visit her on a walk-in basis at 14 Forever Friend Lane from 10:00-1:00 or 2:00-6:00!
