About Chena

Chena is a 4-year-old husky who found herself at the shelter after her previous life as a sled dog didn’t suit her anymore. She’s a sweet and affectionate lady who loves being around other dogs and people. While Chena might still enjoy the thrill of being in harness occasionally—perhaps as your skijor buddy—her ideal life involves chilling out on the couch.

If you think Chena could fit well into your home, don’t hesitate to reach out for a meet-and-greet!
