About Divena

Meet Divena! Divena is a lovely 5-year-old long-haired Miniature Dachshund, weighing just 8 pounds. This gentle girl has had a challenging start in life, as she was rescued from a breeding situation. She’s looking for a special family who can offer her the patience and understanding she needs. While she carries some fears, there’s a sweet personality waiting to shine through. Initially, Divena may seem shy and timid, especially around new people and environments. Understanding her body language and allowing her to approach at her own pace is crucial. Rushed interactions can overwhelm her, so it’s important to foster a calm and secure atmosphere. She thrives around other dogs and could benefit from having a confident canine companion to help her feel safer. Divena needs an experienced, dog-savvy adopter who can navigate the nuances of working with fearful dogs. A quiet home without young children and a securely fenced yard would create an ideal setting for her. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, ready to meet a loving family that will cherish her and give her the time she deserves to adjust. Divena may not shower you with affection right away, but with encouragement and the right environment, she can become the loving companion we know she has the potential to be. Every dog deserves a second chance at happiness. Could you be the one to provide that for Divena?
