A kind woman rescued her from the shelter, gave her a bath, and called our rescue. That’s when Lena’s new journey began. Her first day was heartbreaking… she howled at the door and ran to the windows, afraid of her new foster home—confused and clearly looking for someone she’d lost. But just one week later, Lena has blossomed into the sweetest, most gentle soul. She quietly explores her new space, wags her tail when you say her name, and curls up in every cozy bed she can find. She even loves her veggies—string beans are her favorite! When Lena met my grandson Luca, she loved him immediately. Whenever he sat on the couch, she would gently lay her head near his feet—it was the sweetest sight. Lena is kind, curious, and just wants to be loved. She’s great on walks, calm in the stroller, and always happy to greet new friends—furry or human.Because we believe Lena may have experienced abuse in her past, she can sometimes become startled or unsure when being petted or having her harness put on. With patience, a gentle approach, and trust-building, she relaxes and enjoys the affection. She just needs someone who understands that love, at her pace, will help her fully blossom. She’ll soon be getting the medical care she needs (dental, spay, and tumor removal), and then she’ll be ready for her forever home. She’s been through so much neglect—this little girl deserves to be loved and cherished for all her years to come. Older dogs like Lena need someone to see past their age and recognize the love, loyalty, and gratitude they bring. They don’t ask for much—just a soft place to rest, a gentle voice, and someone to finally call their own. Please consider opening your heart and home to Lena—or share her story to help us find the family she’s waiting for. Lena is staying with Lynda in Fort Lee, NJ.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 12, 2025, 1:53 am
