Meet Lena, a sweet 3-year-old, 45-pound Basenji / Carolina Dog mix with a heart full of loyalty and a soul full of gentleness. Lena is a medium-sized rescue dog who is affectionate, intelligent, food-motivated, dog-friendly, and wonderfully calm in the home. She's looking for a loving forever family where she can finally settle in and belong.
Lena forms deep, meaningful bonds with her people. She may take a little time to warm up at first, but once she feels safe, she becomes an incredibly affectionate and devoted companion. One of her favorite ways to ask for love is with a gentle nose nudge or by softly placing her paw on your arm. Around the house, Lena is calm and easygoing. She's happy chewing on a bone, relaxing nearby, or snuggling with her people. She enjoys going for walks and adventures, but she isn't overly high-energy and settles beautifully once back home.
Lena is very smart and eager to please. Because she is highly food motivated, training has been a wonderful way to build her confidence and strengthen her bond with people. She participates in our group training sessions, practices basic commands, and has even enjoyed trying some beginner agility exercises.
