Zena is a 40 lb husky/shepherd mix with a striking presence and a gentle soul for those she trusts. She’s wary of strangers and feels safest sticking to her circle, preferring a calm home where she doesn’t have to deal with a lot of new people. Zena’s ideal setup is as the only dog in a home with no cats or chickens to tempt her prey drive. She takes a while to warm up and can be skittish around people’s movements—standing, approaching, or certain gestures make her uneasy at first. At her core, she’s a homebody who is happiest when she can just stay in her yard or stroll her neighborhood with her person. Leash walks and car rides put her at ease—she really comes alive in those quiet moments with her trusted human. Crowds and public spaces aren’t her thing, so don’t expect her to want errands or patio hangs. Out in the world, Zena is peaceful and content as long as her environment is predictable. She’s looking for someone who gets that and will let her bloom at her own pace. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
