Lena

My story

🚨 Meet Lena, a stunning 2-year-old German Shepherd looking for her hero! 🚨 Lena is on a journey of bravery and growth, searching for a foster or forever home that can offer her the love and security she deserves. With a past that has left her a bit shy and reactive, Lena isn't the type to jump right into the dog park life, but give her the right introduction and a calm environment, and she'll find her way. 🐾 What Lena needs: A foster or forever home that's active and understanding. A handler who's patient and has a knack for doggy communication. Time to decompress and trust at her own pace. Lena promises to be a loyal companion and a loving part of the family, with just a bit of time and patience. Are you the patient, active partner Lena is waiting for? Let's help her come out of her shell and find the loving home she deserves.

The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home. Please note, we will not approve an adoption to individuals or families residing in rental apartments. Typically, apartment complexes have pet policies on restricted breeds and weights which includes German Shepherd Dogs, Belgian Malinois, bully breeds, etc. These dog breeds are not breeds that will thrive in an apartment setting regardless of the management pet policy. Our adoption policy is non-negotiable.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lena, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
