About Elena

Elena is a 9-year-old mixed breed who is searching for a loving home. She arrived at the shelter in August 2028 after her previous owner moved and couldn’t take her along. Soon, she will be spayed and microchipped, but for now, she’s up to date on vaccinations and has been flea treated and dewormed. She does have some food allergies that led to hair loss, but with a proper diet and medicated baths, she’s on the mend and feeling so much better. This gentle girl loves to cuddle, and she’s ready to find a family that will give her a cozy couch to lounge on and maybe even a ball to chase every now and then. If you're interested in making Elena part of your family, please fill out an adoption application through our website, and a staff member will contact you soon. You can also visit during our regular hours to meet her! Feel free to call the shelter at (814) 834-3247 if you have any questions.
