About Nena

Meet Nena. Nena is a 4-month-old Husky/Cattle Dog mix with a bit of a wild child spirit and an eagerness for everything life offers. She’s got a medium, tricolor coat with bright, expressive eyes and is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, microchipped, and already scheduled for her spay appointment. This pup is happiest when she's with her people. Nena follows her humans everywhere—whether that's curling up underfoot or tagging along for daily routines. She’s sweet-tempered and bonds tightly, thriving most when included in family activities. All that affection comes with plenty of puppy energy, too. Nena loves tearing around the yard, playing with her siblings, and coming back for some well-earned snuggle time. She does great with other dogs and with children, so she’ll suit a family seeking a lovable, social dog. A fenced yard will do wonders for her zoomies and play sessions. Being half Husky and half Cattle Dog, she’s likely to grow into a sharp, loyal, moderately active companion who’ll need structure, attention, and plenty of play as she matures. Nena is currently being fostered in Texas, but she’s ready to make the journey to an approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast, or Canada. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
