Meet Lena

A LOVING LITTLE FRIEND:  Approx. 4 years old / Approx. 12 lbs. Hi, my name is Lena!  Mostly Mutts rescued me from animal control and I’m happy to be on the journey to my new home.  I came in with very overgrown hair and I was pretty shut down and upset, but thankfully I went into a great foster home, where after only a few days, I became much more relaxed and very happy!  I look forward to meeting my new family soon – one that will give me some time to feel at home.    • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I have done very well with the dogs in my foster home, and I play with them if they initiate play.  My foster feels I would really benefit from having the company of a doggie friend in my new home as I don’t really enjoy being alone, so let’s meet. / Cats unknown. / I’ve met some kids in my foster home, and we think kids 10 years and older would be best as I need a little time to get to know people and kids need to be able to understand this and give me that time, so if you have kids like this, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  My foster describes me as ‘a very sweet dog’ who just needs time to adjust to new situations.  Just as at the shelter, I started out in my foster home very scared and shut down. After a few days (and a fresh, desperately needed haircut), I have settled in, opened up and shown my loving side – giving and accepting affection from everyone in my foster family!  They have learned that I’m the kind of little dog that will need time to settle in and trust, so I should meet strangers on a leash, and they should wait and let me approach them, not the other way around.  My foster has lots of experience with dogs and will be happy to talk with you. / My energy level is 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am familiar with the ‘no’ command in my foster home and respond well to it.  I bet you can teach me some more great doggie commands as well. / I do not like being in a crate and will bark in protest.  However, I do well in my foster home when I’m left in the kitchen with another dog. / I’ve done well on a good take-out schedule and with potty pads being available.  Keep me on a good schedule with rewards for when I go outside and I think I’ll do well in your home, too!  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I am happiest when I am with my people or hanging out with the other dogs in my foster home.  I enjoy my walks and walk well on my leash, so let’s take some fun walks together.  I love people food and will beg for it, but don’t give in to me too often, as it is not good for me. / I don’t like to be alone and relish the company of people or other doggies.  Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I am looking for a wonderful home with a loving family for life!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
