About Alena

Alena is a charming white terrier mix with delightful black spots and a gentle spirit, available for adoption at the Wake Forest, NC shelter. This sweet, timid girl may take her time in new environments, but once she feels secure, her true personality shines through. Potty trained with a consistent schedule, Alena sleeps soundly in her crate after settling down for the night. Every day brings new experiences for her; she's learning quickly and gaining confidence. She's already tackled the automatic garage door and the steps at home, and she's starting to enjoy toys and playing, especially with tennis balls. Alena loves exploring a fenced yard, particularly when her favorite humans join her. She walks nicely on a harness, preferring shorter neighborhood strolls that allow her to take breaks and lounge on the grass. She has relaxed around children getting off the school bus and doesn’t mind visitors, even the doorbell isn’t an issue. Although she's not lived with other pets, she seems unbothered by them during walks. Alena needs a patient family who is ready to help her build confidence at her own pace. With gentle encouragement and plenty of love, this sweet girl has great potential to thrive. If you have a calm home and a soft spot for shy companions, Alena might just be the perfect addition to your life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
