Meet the delightful Lena! 🌟 This stunning 5-year-old Border Collie/Pit Mix, weighing in at a charming 55 pounds, has journeyed from the streets of NYC to find her forever home. She once arrived at the NYCACC, frightened and unsure, but thanks to the incredible kindness of a dedicated rescuer, Lena is now ready to embrace love and joy. ❤️ Lena is an active, vibrant spirit who absolutely shines with her high energy and intelligence. After completing her training at Rise & Shine K9 in Edgartown, MA, she's now on the path to mastering her leash skills. Imagine this gorgeous girl romping on the beach, chasing balls (though she might keep a few for herself!), and indulging in her favorite peanut butter treats! 🥜🎾 She adores playtime with her fellow four-legged pals and would thrive in a home with another dog to share her adventures with. 🐶 Although Lena is good with adults and teenagers, she prefers a calm environment without young children and can be a bit shy in crowded situations. She needs a patient soul who can help her continue to blossom, especially with her leash training. Yet, once she trusts you, she’s a cuddle bug with impeccable house manners—no chewed shoes or chewed-up furniture here! 🙌 This lovable goofball may have had a rocky start, but she's ready to fill her forever home with laughter, loyalty, and love. Lena's gentle spirit and eagerness to learn will surely make her an exceptional companion. So if you're looking for a furry friend who wants nothing more than your unconditional love, look no further! ***Apply through the Buddy App today*** to meet Lena and be part of her joyful journey! 🥳
