Elena Velez is a 1-year-old mixed breed weighing around 54 lbs. She can be shy at first and is still learning to trust, but she blossoms beautifully once she feels safe. When Elena warms up to you, she reveals herself as an incredibly affectionate dog who loves being close to her people. Once she decides you're her person, Elena shows her love with enthusiastic hugs and plenty of kisses-she's the kind of dog who wants to be right next to you, soaking up affection whenever she can. She is crate-trained and does well with structure, and she would thrive in a patient, loving home that's willing to give her the time she needs to build confidence and trust.
