Lena has personality plus and her foster Mom says every time they go for a walk she gets stopped by people to either tell her how gorgeous Lena is or to ask what breed she is. Lena wqas rescued from Memphis Animal Services and of course we were alerted to her because people automatically think that if a dog has blue eyes they must be part Husky. Well that is not true, manty breeds can throw blue eyes. It is out veterinarians best guess that Lena is a Bull Terrier/Boxer mix. Lena has a fantastic disposition towards everyone, big or small dogs, children, adults, Lena doesn’t know what stranger means. She is housebroken, crate trained, has shown no signs of destruction and loves belly rubs. She is happy going for a ride and sits like a little kid looking out the window, if the ride ends in whipped cream from Starbuck’s or the dog park it’s even better. Lena is only 12-24 months old and wants her own forever home.
Thanks for choosing rescue! All of our rescues are temperament tested around children of all ages, small and large dogs and cats. They all have basic training, IE; sit; down, come and walking on a lead. We are not a shelter, we are a rescue and all of our rescued dogs are kept in individual foster/volunteers homes. This gives them sometimes their first taste of having a family and being part of that family. Also, it provides us with the understanding of each individual rescue to match them to your family lifestyle and dynamics. As soon as we receive your application back, we will phone you to set up a home visit/meet & greet. If you are out of our area, we would request another rescue and/or veterinary office complete the home visit.
All of our rescues are completely vetted prior to adoption. Also, completed prior to adoptions are heartworm treatments as needed, any medical conditions treated (IE; allergies, demedex, etc.) and any surgeries for dogs coming into the rescue injured (IE; car accidents, etc.). Below is the vetting that all of our rescues receive prior to adoption. We only pull dogs from shelters and approximately 80% of our rescues come into the rescue heartworm positive. Those rescues are treated for heartworms prior to adoption.
