About Lena

Lena is a shy girl learning that not all humans are scary. She arrived at the shelter with her four puppies and is now eager for someone to care for her. When approached, she tends to cower and become small, not out of defiance but from fear. With time, soft voices have started to reassure her, showing her that the world can be a kinder place. Having other dogs around boosts her confidence, and she appreciates their calming presence—volunteers call it "borrowing confidence." While she may not leap into your arms immediately, Lena is slowly finding her bravery. She needs extra patience and understanding as she learns to trust. This sweet girl hopes someone will see the gentle spirit within her. Lena is a 1-year-old female Pit Bull mix, currently pending spay appointment. She is available for adoption in Mountainair, NM, with a fee of $100. Let’s give her the loving home she deserves. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
